Shure SM7dB
My go-to microphone since its launch. Shure took the legendary SM7B and integrated a built-in preamp, brilliantly eliminating the need to mess around with external cloudlifters or gain boosters.

Streaming Setup
RØDECaster Pro II
I test multiple XLR microphones, and this mixer lets me keep four plugged in simultaneously without swapping cables. I prefer its physical faders over knobs, allowing me to easily route separate PC applications while utilizing the phenomenal APHEX-processed preamps.
Elgato Prompter
I loved this so much I bought a second one for YouTube filming. It functions as a regular monitor, allowing you to drag literally anything onto the screen for incredible versatility.
Canon EOS R + Lens
My former main YouTube camera, now repurposed for streaming after upgrading to the R5C. Paired with a 16mm lens, it captures a beautifully wide, immersive angle of my entire studio setup.
Elgato Cam Link Pro
Instead of juggling multiple individual USB dongles, the Cam Link Pro provides four dedicated HDMI inputs directly into my PC for a seamless multi-camera streaming setup.
Elgato Stream Deck +
I downsized from a 64-key setup to just the Stream Deck +. Thanks to well-integrated profiles and pages in the software, I honestly don't miss the extra buttons at all.
Amaran 100d S + Light Dome Mini II
I upgraded to this professional light and mini softbox to fix jarring lighting differences between my filming and desk setups, providing a much softer, consistent key light on my face.
Elgato Key Light
Serving as my fill light at a super low 5-10% brightness, this perfectly softens harsh shadows. Its direct desk mount completely frees up valuable floor space in the studio.
Philips Hue Play
Five of these little bars sit behind my desk and monitors, casting a beautiful color spill on my wall. They add the perfect amount of personality and backdrop color to my main filming setup without being distracting.
Elgato LED Strips
Stuck to the back of my desk, these two strips provide a colorful spill backdrop effect. They are easily controlled via my Stream Deck and stay completely hidden from view, enhancing the lighting without adding visual clutter.
Flexispot + KARLBY Standing Desk
This classic DIY hack combines a beautiful IKEA KARLBY walnut kitchen worktop with Flexispot dual-motor legs. Going strong for nearly a decade, this popular mod has truly stood the test of time.
Herman Miller Embody
I spend way too much time at my desk, and this chair's next-level build quality and ergonomics guarantee I never feel uncomfortable or unsupported like I did with past gaming chairs.
Razer Viper V3 Pro
The upgraded sensor and higher polling rate make a genuine difference in competitive games. But honestly, the biggest draw for me is the design, I've always preferred symmetrical shapes over ergonomic ones, and the 54g weight of this mouse is almost half of what I was using previously.
Wooting 60HE
This is one of the best peripherals I've bought in the last few years. The Hall Effect switches offer unmatched customizability, letting you adjust the actuation point down to an incredibly sensitive 0.1mm.
SteelSeries QcK Heavy XXL
I've relied on the SteelSeries QcK Heavy for over 15 years because it's inexpensive and performs incredibly consistently. I actually prefer its clean, unstitched edges over modern alternatives.
Custom PC
Built around the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Founders Edition, I rely on NVIDIA for its phenomenal NVENC encoder, ensuring flawless streaming in OBS and rapid video rendering in DaVinci Resolve.
GIGABYTE M27UP
My brilliant main monitor features a dual-mode display, letting me seamlessly switch between crisp 4K 160Hz for work and an ultra-fast 1080p 320Hz mode for competitive gaming.
Dell P2720D
A reliable 27" 1440p IPS monitor mounted vertically to the left of my main display. It perfectly houses secondary apps like OBS, Discord, Spotify, and Twitch chat while I'm streaming or working.
RØDE NTH-100
These serve as my dedicated editing headphones, offering zero-latency voice monitoring thanks to their reliable wired connection.
Elgato Wave Mic Arm Pro
I've always preferred low-profile mic arms that extend seamlessly from under a monitor. They look significantly cleaner and prevent the arm from blocking your background on camera like traditional broadcast booms do.
SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless
I've used SteelSeries wireless headsets for a decade, and these remain the most comfortable for long sessions, especially with glasses. They are my primary headphones for everything outside of editing and podcasting.
Audioengine A2+ Desktop Speakers
These mini speakers pack a serious punch without consuming much desk space. I pair them with their optional stands to angle them directly toward my ears for an optimal listening experience.
