Counting already 70 years and about 2,000 members, the Verband Deutscher Tonmeister*innen (VDT) is considered one of the oldest and biggest professional associations in the pro-audio business. Thanks to the effort of the latest managing board members, we have broadened our focus on the audio profession in the last decade. As a result, VDT nowadays represents a colorful and varied member base. Our members comprise audio professionals of all ages. They are active in all the different fields of the recording industry, broadcast, film, tv, multimedia, event technology and stage as well as media representatives, equipment industry, research, development and teaching.

Besides providing specialized training courses we also focus on the interdisciplinary exchange between different professional fields. Keeping up with the constant change of the industry, we are younger and more flexible, while keeping our focus sharp on obtaining the best possible recordings, the highest quality audio productions, and convincing PA illusions.

The VDT is not only supported by its individual members, but also by numerous companies that strive for the same ideals and contribute to funding that we all appreciate.
