The company

Founded in 2011 in the legal form of FIDELITY Verlag GmbH, FIDELITY Media has since become one of Germany's leading small special-interest publishing companies in the area of hifi journalism. Based in Ismaning near Munich, the media company publishes the FIDELITY print magazine, operates a successful web magazine and produces books and inserts. fidelity-magazin.de is the FIDELITY Media website, an independent portal that features first-rate journalism and provides access to a range of topics in the sector of high-end consumer electronics.

FIDELITY Media utilizes a number of media channels to create offerings including a print magazine, a digital magazine, a magazine app, a web platform and a social media presence. The company also connects to more than 800 portals located in luxury hotels and airline lounges. The access these portals provide to a select and affluent target group is of particular interest to advertising customers.

By maintaining deliberately close links between traditional print offerings and online operations, the company is able to open up new perspectives for all the stakeholders involved. In addition to speed and strong credibility, this also brings a significant increase in reach. FIDELITY Media's numerous offerings are characterized by a high level of quality and commitment. Serving to create strong ties between readers and the hifi industry, they represent an excellent vehicle for products and campaigns.

FIDELITY magazine

Surveys conducted among its readership have shown that FIDELITY is regarded as a modern, competent, entertaining and enjoyable magazine that is highly appealing to its readers. FIDELITY has managed to carve out a firm place for itself in the magazine market. With a premium ranking among small magazines, FIDELITY boasts solid acceptance and ongoing growth. It has a current readership of around 7,000 readers per issue (as of August 2015), with an upward trend.

FIDELITY has nothing in common with tabloid magazines. Setting high aesthetic standards, it makes a refreshing change from all other publications on the market. Offering between 180 and 200 pages of stylish content, FIDELITY has the quality to interest collectors and be keenly read for many years to come. FIDELITY is a luxury item without making an explicit issue of this fact. A modern and topical bi-monthly magazine, FIDELITY contains detailed reports on developments in the area of high-end audio. FIDELITY is required reading for audiophiles and communicates our authors' fascination for hifi, high-end and music to a broad circle of interested readers.

FIDELITY online

Unlike other sites, FIDELITY online refuses to serve up "fast food" on its internet platform. The quality benchmarks we apply to web content are just as rigorous as those for print copy. Our web magazine maintains the same elevated journalistic standards as our print magazine – and this is undoubtedly the reason for its high level of acceptance. With a current figure of around 7,500 page impressions daily (as of August 2015), and continuing to rise, FIDELITY online is one of the leading web magazines in its area.

Proclaiming the same values as the print magazine, there is nothing trashy, ingratiating or contrived about FIDELITY online. It remains honest and authentic, winning credibility through its passion for the topic. A further important fact: the style of reporting and the quality of the presentation serves to attract readers who have the purchasing power to indulge their interests. This has been confirmed by a comprehensive readership survey and in interactions with consumers at trade fairs such as HIGH END in Munich.

FIDELITY online has been designed as a clearly structured and easily navigable website that provides a massive amount of information without overburdening the user. A presence on FIDELITY online places you at the center of attention for a large group of interested and ardent audiophiles. This is what makes FIDELITY online so different!

Edition FIDELITY

Readers crave more than a print or online magazine alone can give them. Some want more detailed information, others more lavishness and depth, and others again are looking for timelessness and collectability. These are the groups that FIDELITY Media is targeting with its Edition FIDELITY publications. Edition FIDELITY contains books and editorial inserts with high added value. Produced in both German and English to satisfy a global readership, Edition FIDELITY publications set new standard in hifi journalism.

„Who is Who in High Fidelity“, Band 1, ist ein umfangreiches zweisprachiges Kompendium (Deutsch – Englisch), das tiefe Einblicke in die Welt der Personen und Firmen der High Fidelity gibt. „Who is Who in High Fidelity“ verfolgt den Anspruch, mittels einer Vielzahl von Bänden den Weltmarkt der High Fidelity abzubilden und darin die spannenden und wichtigen Personen und Unternehmen des Weltmarktes zu beschreiben.

Accompanying the FIDELITY magazine, the editorial inserts from Edition Fidelity promote reference works and collectibles covering a wide range of interesting topics. These inserts are enclosed with issues of FIDELITY magazine, distributed in large numbers free of charge at various trade fairs, and can be purchased at a later date in both print and e-paper versions.

Now regarded as a classic, the only book to be published solely in German by FIDELITY Media is "Einführung in die hochwertige Musikwiedergabe". This was based on an original English version (Introductory Guide to High-Performance Audio Systems) from a different publisher.
