Michell antique phonograph

The phonograph is a tool invented in 1877 for the mechanised duplication and taking of sound. In its later forms it is also called a gramophone (as a trademark since 1887, as a generic name since c. 1900). The sound vibration waveforms are noted as corresponding physical deviations of a spiral groove imprinted, etched, incised, or impressed in to the surface of any rotating disc or cylinder, called a "record". To recreate the sound, the top is similarly rotated while a playback stylus traces the groove and is also therefore vibrated because of it, very reproducing the saved sound faintly. In early acoustic phonographs, the stylus vibrated a diaphragm which produced sound waves that have been coupled to the open air through a flaring horn, or directly to the listener's ears through stethoscope-type earphones. In later electric phonographs (also known as record players (since 1940s) or, most recently, turntables), the motions of the stylus are changed into an analogous electronic signal with a transducer, then converted back into audio with a loudspeaker.

The phonograph was created in 1877 by Thomas Edison. While other inventors experienced produced devices that could record does sound, Edison's phonograph was the first to have the ability to reproduce the documented sound. His phonograph actually recorded sound onto a tinfoil sheet covered around a rotating cylinder. A stylus responding to sound vibrations produced an and down or hill-and-dale groove in the foil up. 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 laterally in a "zig zag" groove surrounding the record.

Inside the 1890s, Emile Berliner initiated the change from phonograph cylinders to chiseled discs with a spiral groove operating from the periphery to nearby the center. Later improvements over time included improvements to the turntable and its own drive system, the needle or stylus, and the audio and equalization systems.

The disc phonograph record was the dominating audio taking format throughout the majority of the 20th hundred years. Through the mid-1980s on, phonograph use on a standard record player declined due to rise of the cassette tape sharply, compact disc and other digital tracking formats. Files remain a well liked format for a few audiophiles and DJs. 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 initial recordings of music artists are occasionally re-issued on vinyl fabric.

Using terminology is not uniform across the English-speaking world (see below). In newer usage, the playback device is named a "turntable", "record player", or "record changer". When used in conjunction with a mixing machine within a DJ setup, turntables are often called "decks".

The word phonograph ("sound writing") was produced from the Greek words ???? (phon?, "sound" or "voice") and ????? (graph?, "writing"). The similar related conditions gramophone (from the Greek ?????? gramma "notice" and ???? ph?n? "voice") and graphophone have similar root meanings. The origins were already familiar from existing 19th-century words such as photograph ("light writing"), telegraph ("distant writing"), and phone ("distant sound"). The new term may have been influenced by the existing words phonographic and phonography, which referred to a system of phonetic shorthand; in 1852 The New York Times transported an advertising campaign for "Professor Webster's phonographic class", and in 1859 the New York State Educators Association tabled a movement to "hire a phonographic recorder" to record its meetings.

Probably, any device used to track record audio or reproduce documented sound could be called a type of "phonograph", but in common practice the expressed phrase has come to indicate traditional technologies of audio saving, relating audio-frequency modulations of a physical groove or track.

In the overdue 19th and early on 20th generations, "Phonograph", "Gramophone", "Graphophone", "Zonophone" and so on were still brands specific to various designers of sometimes very different (i.e. cylinder and disc) machines; so significant use was manufactured from the general term "talking machine", especially in print. "Talking machine" had earlier been used to make reference to complicated devices which produced a crude imitation of speech, by simulating the workings of the vocal cords, tongue, and lips - a potential source of bafflement both and now then.

In British British, "gramophone" may make reference to any sound-reproducing machine using disc records, that have been popularized and unveiled in the united kingdom by the Gramophone Company. Originally, "gramophone" was a proprietary trademark of that company and any use of the name by competing makers of disc records was vigorously prosecuted in the courts, however in 1910 an English court decision decreed that it had become a generic term; it has been so used in the UK and 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 details, 33 1/3-rpm LPs (long-playing documents) and 45-rpm "single" or two-song files, and EPs (extended-play recordings), the normal name became "record player" or "turntable". Often the home record player was part of a system that included a radio (radiogram) and, later, might 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 term; "turntable" was a far more technical term; "gramophone" was limited to the old mechanical (i.e., wind-up) players; and "phonograph" was used as with British English.
