You're welcome, and I have (predictably) just spotted a mistake.
It seems more likely that the stunners used by IST powered infantrymen are actually TL 11^ neural disruptors set to produce neural stun. Those already affect a cone-shapped area, just like the power described in the original book, requiring no fusion between the effects of sonic stunners and sonic screamers ... and as a plus, the "evil" IST can switch them to produce agony.
