What is "MTX's proprietary Spider Plateau Venting technology."

I see it in the MTX advertising, but can't find a definition for what
it does.

Thanks

It's a marketing term to entice suckers, er, I mean buyers.

Hmmm, not quite the same thing.

This "Spider Plateau Venting technology" smells like a classic I saw in
a magazine ad years ago... and amp touting "Solid Core Acoustic
Technology", or SCAT, along with several redundant bullet points about
why this was such a great thing.

What it all meant was that the amp used solid wire instead of stranded
for all internal connections.

Acronym search: SCAT - Sarasota County Area Transit (Florida)

Personally, if I saw a bunch of old geezers on a bus that had SCAT
written all over it, I'd be laughing my a.s off.
