ASMR Equipment I Actually Use (Mic, Props & Full Recording Setup)
15
items Everything I use to film my ASMR videos — my mic, lighting, trigger props, and the small accessories that made the biggest difference in my sound. If you're starting an ASMR channel or just want better audio, this is the exact setup I'd tell a friend...
This is the mic I record with. It picks up whispers and soft sounds clearly without needing any extra equipment. You just plug it into your laptop and go and the quality is amazing.
Blue Yeti USB Microphone for Recording & Streaming
Cheap fix for a really annoying problem. Without it, every "p" and "b" sound comes out as a harsh pop that ruins the take. Clips right onto the Yeti.
Pro Microphone Pop Filter for Blue Yeti & More
If you'd rather buy one bundle instead of pieces, this comes with the arm, pop filter and windscreen together. Good starter option.
InnoGear Mic Boom Arm Pop Filter Bundle
I use these to check my audio before posting. They're closed-back, so you hear exactly what your viewers will hear including any background noise you didn't notice while recording.
Audio-Technica ATH-M20x Studio Headphones
Dimmable, comes with a stand and phone holder. I keep it low and warm so the video feels cozy instead of harsh. It also makes a huge difference to the mood of ASMR content
Neewer 18in 55W 5500K Dimmable LED Ring Light Kit
A few of these behind and around your recording spot kills the echo that makes home recordings sound cheap. You don't need to cover the whole wall, even a small setup helps.
Acoustic Foam Panels
Three different textures in one kit — magic sand, fluffy slime and crunchy foam beads. Great value if you want variety for trigger videos without buying everything separately.
Craze’Sensation ASMR 3 Pack Caddy
Different slime textures give you completely different sounds — glossy, crunchy, fluffy. I'd start with a crunchy one for the mic.
Asmr Slime
You don't need anything because fancy soft brushes are one of the most requested triggers, and a basic set gives you a whole range of bristle sounds for mic brushing.
Makeup Brush Set
Etsy has handmade trigger tools you won't find anywhere else — wooden massage tools, textured fidgets, custom pieces. Good for standing out from creators using the same Amazon props.
Asmr Triggers
This is what I edit with, and it's completely free. Noise reduction, trimming, adjusting level, everything a beginner needs without paying for anything.
Audacity
The upgrade path once you outgrow Audacity. Much better noise cleanup and finer control over your sound. Not necessary on day one, but worth knowing about.
Audio recording and editing software | Adobe Audition
Not for lighting your face but for the background. A soft colored glow behind you instantly makes your videos look more polished and cozy and this is the affordable way to do it.
Govee 16.4FT RGB LED Strip Lights with Remote
The fluffy mic cover is a trigger in itself because fluffy-cover brushing videos are a whole ASMR sub-genre. Etsy has handmade ones in different colors and textures, which doubles as a visual signature for your channel. I recommend it
Asmr Mic Cover
Get this if you ever record outside. Wind messes up your audio bad, and this fixes it. Slips right on.
