Home Sound Effects Medieval Armour
$54
Prepare for battle!
This library comprises recordings of authentic medieval armour and its interaction with various period weapons. Spotlighted is a selection of battle-ready ringing impacts and metallic handling sounds.
Using a multi-mic configuration (comprising the Sennheiser MKH50 and Røde NTG-3) our Audio Craftsmen captured a sword, hammer, spear and spear handle, warhammer beak, hammer and spearhead, hand AKA Dane axe, and battle axe make contact with chainmail and a Norman steel helm. Movement performed whilst wearing a chainmail shirt, sundry chainmail jingling, general handling of the steel helm and dropping the helm are also included in this library.
These meticulously edited sounds are ideal for Film, TV, game and documentary projects featuring plate armour, helmets and chainmail – as well as more abstract applications such as placing an artillery turret in an army-building game. Inject some force and texture into your medieval action with this library!
Sound have been separated into the following categories:
Chainmail Impacts: Medieval weapons stabbing, striking and hitting a chainmail shirt.
Chainmail Movement: Manipulation of chainmail shirt both on and off our Foley artist. Includes the sound of footsteps performed at various speeds, cleaning the chainmail by scrubbing it in sand, and taking the chainmail shirt off.
Steel Helm Impacts: Medieval weapons stabbing, striking and scraping the steel helm.
Steel Helm Movement: General handling of the steel helm, as well as dropping the helm onto earth, sand and a wooden floor.
Each file contains multiple takes of the named action.
All sounds were recorded in 24Bit 192kHz, and have been tagged with extensive UCS metadata for ease of use.

There are many great independent sound effect libraries available these days. The main problem with having so many, is keeping track of them!
A Sound Effect is a great hub, and is one of the first places I visit to look for sounds by category or genre. I started coming here to see if I could find libraries that I knew I had heard, but forgot WHERE I had heard them.
And in the process discovered libraries I never would have found otherwise. Great work! Keep it up!
We're always looking for new sounds to mangle, so when A Sound Effect had a holiday sale, I tried them out.
The purchase experience is really smooth and quick, and delivery is almost instant.
I'll definitely come back to them again in the future!
A Sound Effect is a wonderful resource for indie sound effects libraries. On top of that, it has some of the finest sound design, film and game audio interviews!
I often need very specific types of sounds so I've become a big supporter of independent recorders.
Until now I've always had to go to their individual websites. Now I can find them all in one place.
And, Asbjoern is great to work with!
A Sound Effect is a well curated boutique sound effects shop and a great place to find industry interviews and learning resources.
