One reason for this is its dual connectivity; anyone can get started right out of the box with its USB connection. While those with audio interfaces can just as well use XLR.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a condenser microphone with a cardioid polar pattern, wide frequency range, and high sensitivity.<\/p>\n<p>Because of its ultra-low self-noise (4dBA), it&#8217;s perfect for capturing quiet ASMR with high quality. This is thanks to the \u2018Revolution Preamp\u2019 which also boasts 76dB of gain \u2013 so you won\u2019t need to boost your whispers or other noises.<\/p>\n<p>One unique feature is the NT1 5th Gen\u2019s 32-bit float digital output, preventing clipping, even if you set the input gain too high. This is ideal for ASMR as you\u2019ll work with high gain levels to capture quiet details \u2013 running the risk of accidentally clipping your audio.

Because it\u2019s made for preserving the naturalness of the sound it captures, it&#8217;s great for capturing the subtle and quiet sounds with detail that is needed for ASMR.<\/p>\n<p>One great feature is its electromagnetic shielding, stopping hum from monitors and other devices. Because ASMR is recorded at such a quiet level, this hum is more likely to get in the way, so it\u2019s great that the SM7B eliminates this.<\/p>\n<p>It also has a classic cardioid pattern that rejects off-axis audio.

So, if you aren\u2019t that experienced with audio gear, the Blue Snowball is a good starter for making ASMR.<\/p>\n<p>Plus, if you are making visual ASMR content, this microphone has a great aesthetic, with three different colours to choose from: black, white, and brushed aluminium.<\/p>\n<p>Shop now | <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gear4music.com\/Recording-and-Computers\/Blue-Snowball-USB-Microphone-Black\/3U38\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Blue Snowball USB Microphone<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Things to consider when buying an ASMR mic&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;20px||||false|false&#8221; border_width_top=&#8221;2px&#8221; border_color_top=&#8221;gcid-45928375-1fd3-4d7e-b1f0-0adee316b54f&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{%22gcid-45928375-1fd3-4d7e-b1f0-0adee316b54f%22:%91%22border_color_top%22%93}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Things_to_consider_when_buying_an_ASMR_mic\"><\/span>Things to consider when buying an ASMR mic<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>When buying an ASMR microphone, you should consider several things.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Price\"><\/span>Price<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Firstly, <strong>the price<\/strong> of the microphone. If you&#8217;re just getting started with ASMR you might not want to jump right into the most expensive option straight away. However, if you&#8217;re prepared to spend more, you\u2019ll get more features and increased audio quality, resulting in better ASMR content.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Connection_type\"><\/span>Connection type<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Secondly, look at the<strong> connection type<\/strong>. You might already have an audio interface, which means you can use microphones with XLR connections. But if you don\u2019t, look for a microphone with a USB connection \u2013 so you can plug straight into your computer and get producing ASMR straightaway.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Condenser_vs_dynamic\"><\/span>Condenser vs dynamic<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Next, whether it\u2019s a <strong>condenser microphone or a dynamic microphone<\/strong>. While dynamic microphones are great, we think condenser microphones are the best option for ASMR. This is because they often have wider frequency and dynamic ranges, meaning they can pick up the subtle details that will get your audience tingling.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Polar_pattern\"><\/span>Polar pattern<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Another aspect to consider is the <strong>polar pattern<\/strong>. While a focused pickup is good for capturing vocals, you could also consider other pickup patterns for more wide-ranging sounds. And of course, if you want to capture in stereo, then think about getting a microphone that has stereo capability built-in like the Shure MV88+.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Self-noise\"><\/span>Self-noise<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>An important aspect of great ASMR content is your<strong> microphone\u2019s self-noise<\/strong>. Because the audio you capture for ASMR is often super quiet, you\u2019ll want a microphone that has low self-noise. This is the low level of noise that microphones make. It&#8217;s not as noticeable with louder sound sources but can be detrimental to effective ASMR content.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sensitivity\"><\/span>Sensitivity<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>The last, and arguably the most important, thing to consider is your microphone\u2019s <strong>sensitivity<\/strong>. The higher the sensitivity, the better in this case. You\u2019ll be able to capture intricate details more effectively and, therefore, make better ASMR content that&#8217;s more likely to give your audience tingles.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-25820 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2023\/04\/SubZero-condenser-mic.jpg\" alt=\"SubZero condenser mic\" width=\"1200\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2023\/04\/SubZero-condenser-mic.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2023\/04\/SubZero-condenser-mic-600x300.jpg 600w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2023\/04\/SubZero-condenser-mic-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2023\/04\/SubZero-condenser-mic-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2023\/04\/SubZero-condenser-mic-1080x540.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2023\/04\/SubZero-condenser-mic-980x490.jpg 980w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2023\/04\/SubZero-condenser-mic-480x240.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;FAQs&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.17.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;20px||||false|false&#8221; border_width_top=&#8221;2px&#8221; border_color_top=&#8221;gcid-45928375-1fd3-4d7e-b1f0-0adee316b54f&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{%22gcid-45928375-1fd3-4d7e-b1f0-0adee316b54f%22:%91%22border_color_top%22%93}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"FAQs\"><\/span>FAQs<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_microphone_do_most_YouTubers_use\"><\/span>What microphone do most YouTubers use?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Most YouTubers use condenser microphones.

If you're just getting started with ASMR you might not want to jump right into the most expensive option straight away. However, if you're prepared to spend more, you\u2019ll get more features and increased audio quality, resulting in better ASMR content.<\/p><hr \/><h4>Connection type<\/h4><p>Secondly, look at the<strong> connection type<\/strong>. You might already have an audio interface, which means you can use microphones with XLR connections. But if you don\u2019t, look for a microphone with a USB connection \u2013 so you can plug straight into your computer and get producing ASMR straightaway.<\/p><hr \/><h4>Condenser vs dynamic<\/h4><p>Next, whether it\u2019s a <strong>condenser microphone or a dynamic microphone<\/strong>. While dynamic microphones are great, we think condenser microphones are the best option for ASMR. This is because they often have wider frequency and dynamic ranges, meaning they can pick up the subtle details that will get your audience tingling.<\/p><hr \/><h4>Polar pattern<\/h4><p>Another aspect to consider is the <strong>polar pattern<\/strong>. While a focused pickup is good for capturing vocals, you could also consider other pickup patterns for more wide-ranging sounds. And of course, if you want to capture in stereo, then think about getting a microphone that has stereo capability built-in like the Shure MV88+.<\/p><hr \/><h4>Self-noise<\/h4><p>An important aspect of great ASMR content is your<strong> microphone\u2019s self-noise<\/strong>. Because the audio you capture for ASMR is often super quiet, you\u2019ll want a microphone that has low self-noise. This is the low level of noise that microphones make. It's not as noticeable with louder sound sources but can be detrimental to effective ASMR content.<\/p><hr \/><h4>Sensitivity<\/h4><p>The last, and arguably the most important, thing to consider is your microphone\u2019s <strong>sensitivity<\/strong>. The higher the sensitivity, the better in this case. You\u2019ll be able to capture intricate details more effectively and, therefore, make better ASMR content that's more likely to give your audience tingles.<\/p><p><img class=\"aligncenter wp-image-25820 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/stateless-blog-g4m-co-uk\/2023\/04\/SubZero-condenser-mic.jpg\" alt=\"SubZero condenser mic\" width=\"1200\" height=\"600\" \/><\/p><hr \/><h3>FAQs<\/h3><h4>What microphone do most YouTubers use?<\/h4><p>Most YouTubers use condenser microphones. These often have wide frequency and dynamic ranges, so can capture audio with detail and accuracy. This is especially important for ASMR when the subtleties of different sounds are most important.<\/p><hr \/><h4>What equipment do I need for ASMR?<\/h4><p>You need both a microphone and headphones for ASMR. A microphone is a must-have for capturing your ASMR sounds but headphones are important too, so you can listen back to your ASMR content before you put it into the world.<\/p><hr \/><h4>What are the 5 types of ASMR?<\/h4><p>There are more than five types of ASMR, but five of the most popular are:<\/p><ul><li>Whispering<\/li><li>Crinkling<\/li><li>Blowing<\/li><li>Chewing<\/li><li>Tapping<\/li><\/ul><hr \/><h3>Final thoughts<\/h3><p>Having a great mic is the first step to making great ASMR content and I hope this list of the <strong>best ASMR microphones<\/strong> provides you with enough to get started.<\/p><p>If you are interested in other types of content creation, why not check out our <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gear4music.com\/blog\/14-best-microphones-for-youtube\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">14 best microphones for YouTube<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0or our <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gear4music.com\/blog\/best-microphones-for-streaming\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">12 best microphones for streaming<\/a><\/strong>?<\/p>","_et_gb_content_width":"","_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[247,121],"tags":[193,290,220,161,104,534,592],"class_list":["post-25474","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-studio-guides","category-studio-production","tag-behringer","tag-guide","tag-sennheiser","tag-shure","tag-studio-production","tag-subzero","tag-universal-audio"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>The 11 Best ASMR Microphones | Gear4music<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Get recording ASMR content!
