Abstract
A self-service terminal () can have:—a product-sensing device for sensing a property of a product;—a plurality of acoustic sensors (); and a control device, which is designed for: superposing a signal captured by means of the plurality of acoustic sensors (); determining a voice pattern on the basis of the result of the superposing; outputting information on the basis of the property and on the basis of the voice pattern; wherein the superposing and the position of the plurality of acoustic sensors () relative to each other are designed such that first components of the signal are attenuated relative to second components of the signal if an origin of the second components is located between the self-service terminal () and an origin of the first components.
