From the industry for the industry since 1967
The VDT magazine is published five times a year by the VDT. It sees itself as an essential organ of information dissemination for the professional audio industry. The publication is aimed exclusively at the lively and diverse membership base of 2,000 members. They come from the fields of sound carrier production, radio, film, television, multimedia, and stage or are representatives of the media, equipment industry, event industry, research, development, and teaching. In combination with the VDT's sponsoring companies as supporters, the magazine's readership is generated 100% from internationally relevant professionals, decision-makers and innovators in the pro audio industry, thus achieving perfect target group coverage. In almost every issue, one or more articles are by international authors, which we publish in the original English version.

Editorial Team
The core editorial team of VDT Magazine consists of Markus Thiel, Peter Kaminski, Stefani Renner, and Nick Mavridis. They bring a wealth of experience in technical journalism and editorial work to the table. However, each issue of the magazine is dedicated to a specific topic—which requires a great deal of specialized and detailed knowledge. Who better to provide this than the VDT’s specialist departments and experts?
We look forward to an inspiring collaboration!

Andrea Iven, Verlagsleitung
“Even our very first joint conceptual brainstorming session was extremely constructive, trusting, and pleasant. The redesign of VDT Magazine called upon our creativity and experience. We eagerly awaited the first issue. The publication fits perfectly into our musical, audio, and digital publishing portfolio, as we, too, have been active in the music and Prolight+Sound scene for 25 years.”
