Autonomous sensory meridian response or ASMR has been growing massively for the past couple of years. During ASMR, the body’s response to the stimuli is quite interesting as it produces ‘tingles’. These tingles are generated at the top of the head and make their way throughout the rest of the body. The stimuli that can trigger ASMR includes sounds of whispering or someone speaking very softly, brushing hair, turning pages, close personnel attention, etc.
ASMR videos are made using some top quality ASMR microphones. The recording is usually done using a method called “Binaural Recording” which uses two microphones to create a 3D-like effect. But now-a-days we also have Binaural Microphones, using which we can achieve the same purpose but with one less microphone.
