The phonograph is a device invented in 1877 for the mechanical tracking and duplication of audio. In its later forms it is also called a gramophone (as a trademark since 1887, as a generic name since c. 1900). The audio vibration waveforms are saved as matching physical deviations of any spiral groove etched, etched, incised, or impressed in to the surface of your rotating disc or cylinder, called a "record". To recreate the audio, the surface is likewise rotated while a playback stylus traces the groove which is therefore vibrated by it, very faintly reproducing the registered sound. In early acoustic phonographs, the stylus vibrated a diaphragm which produced sound waves which were coupled to the open air through the flaring horn, or right to the listener's ears through stethoscope-type earphones. In later electric phonographs (also called record players (since 1940s) or, lately, turntables), the motions of the stylus are converted into an analogous electro-mechanical signal by the transducer, then altered back into sound with a loudspeaker.

The phonograph was invented in 1877 by Thomas Edison. While other inventors possessed produced devices which could record may seem, Edison's phonograph was the first to be able to reproduce the registered sound. His phonograph actually recorded audio onto a tinfoil sheet twisted around a spinning cylinder. A stylus responding to reasonable vibrations produced an up and down or hill-and-dale groove in the foil. Alexander Graham Bell's Volta Laboratory made several improvements in the 1880s, including the use of wax-coated cardboard cylinders, and a cutting stylus that moved from side to side in a "zig zag" groove throughout the record.

In the 1890s, Emile Berliner initiated the transition from phonograph cylinders to flat discs with a spiral groove working from the periphery to near the center. Later improvements through the years included changes to the turntable and its own drive system, the stylus or needle, and the audio and equalization systems.

The disk phonograph record was the dominant audio tracking format throughout almost all of the 20th century. From your mid-1980s on, phonograph use on a standard record player declined due to rise of the cassette tape sharply, compact disk and other digital taking formats. Records are a well liked format for a few audiophiles and DJs still. Vinyl records are being used by some DJs and musicians in their concert performances still. Musicians continue steadily to release their recordings on vinyl records. The original recordings of music artists are re-issued on vinyl sometimes.

Using terminology is not homogeneous over the English-speaking world (see below). In more modern usage, the playback device is often called a "turntable", "record player", or "record changer". When found in conjunction with a mixer as part of a DJ setup, turntables tend to be called "decks".

The word phonograph ("sound writing") was derived from the Greek words ???? (phon?, "sound" or "voice") and ????? (graph?, "writing"). The similar related conditions gramophone (from the Greek ?????? gramma "letter" and ???? ph?n? "tone of voice") and graphophone have similar root meanings. The roots were already familiar from existing 19th-century words such as picture ("light writing"), telegraph ("distant writing"), and mobile phone ("distant sound"). The new term might have been inspired by the existing words phonographic and phonography, which referred to something of phonetic shorthand; in 1852 THE BRAND NEW York Times transported an ad for "Professor Webster's phonographic class", and in 1859 the New York State Professors Connection tabled a action to "employ a phonographic recorder" to record its meetings.

Arguably, any device used to record sound or reproduce documented audio could be called a type of "phonograph", but in common practice the word has come to suggest traditional technology of reasonable saving, including audio-frequency modulations of the physical track or groove.

In the overdue 19th and early 20th decades, "Phonograph", "Gramophone", "Graphophone", "Zonophone" and the like were still brand names specific to various designers of sometimes completely different (i.e. cylinder and disc) machines; so extensive use was made of the common term "talking machine", in print especially. "Talking machine" had earlier been used to refer to complicated devices which produced a crude imitation of speech, by simulating the workings of the vocal cords, tongue, and mouth - a potential way to obtain misunderstanding both and now then.

In British British, "gramophone" may make reference to any sound-reproducing machine using disk records, which were popularized and released in the UK by the Gramophone Company. Originally, "gramophone" was a proprietary trademark of this company and any use of the name by competing makers of disc records was vigorously prosecuted in the courts, but in 1910 an English court decision decreed that this had turn into a generic term; it has been so used in the UK & most Commonwealth countries ever since. The term "phonograph" was usually limited to machines which used cylinder records.

"Gramophone" generally described a wind-up machine. After the benefits of the softer vinyl fabric files, 33 1/3-rpm LPs (long-playing details) and 45-rpm "single" or two-song details, and EPs (extended-play recordings), the normal name became "record player" or "turntable". Often the home record player was part of something that included a radio (radiogram) and, later, may also play audiotape cassettes. From about 1960, such something began to certainly be a "hi-fi" (high-fidelity, monophonic) or a "stereo" (most systems being stereophonic by the mid-1960s).

In Australian English, "record player" was the word; "turntable" was a far more specialized term; "gramophone" was limited to the old mechanised (i.e., wind-up) players; and "phonograph" was used as with British English.
