recently a chinese company has copied our SMX sound module. These cheap fakes are now sold at several online shops, mainly in asia.
Its easy to find out if its a original Servonaut or a fake. The original SMX has one blue, and one clear (not white) servo connector.
Whatever story the seller might tell you - Servonaut SMX Sound modules are made in germany. We never had a production outside europe or in china. These simple fake SMX are unauthorized copies, without our warranty, and we will not provide any service or repair. We don't know if this fake will work together with other parts of the Servonaut product line, no garanty.
Fortunately the SMX design is now already 7 years old. Although the sound quality of the original module is still state-of-the-art, we are now working on a innovative new and improved version anyway which will be available in autumn 2012.
Servonaut is a registered trade mark of the tematik GmbH.
