Equipment

WhispersRed has massive amount of equipment, most likely more than any other ASMR artist mentioned on our site. She has small improvised studio in her garden shed. Some of the gear she uses is quite rare to see with ASMR artists (examples are Aston mics and Neuman binaural head).

Microphones

Emma mainly uses two Aston Origin microphones connected to a Scarlett 2i2 audio interface. Sometimes instead of Aston mics she uses 2x Rode NT1 microphones.

WhispersRed definitely own three binaural microphones: 3Dio FS Pro II, 3Dio FS XLR and Master Series in-ear mics.

She also has one Blue Yeti microphone, one Zoom H4n mic/recorder and one ZOOM H6 microphone and recorder.

In a couple of videos, we can see that she uses uber expensive Neumann KU100 binaural head. It is unknown did she rented that one or she owns one.

Camera

It is unknown which camera she used for older videos. For more recent clips she used Canon EOS 750D DSLR.

Microphone Stands and Tripods

WhispersRed uses couple of cheap Tiger Microphone Stands for Rode NT1s, while Aston Origins are mounted on the Aston Rycote Universal Studio Mounts.

She also uses three tripods for cameras, binaural mics and somtime recorders. We couldn’t find brand and model of one tripod, the remaining two are Neewer Portable tripod/monopod and Joby GorillaPod Focus tripod.

Lights

On her site she said that her stage is lighted with two Neewer 700w soft boxes and one Neewer CN 160 key light. However, in one of her behind the scene videos, two PhotoSEL SBSR6X9 softboxes are visible.

PC and Software

It is unknown what PC and what software for editing Emma uses.
