Connoisseur antique phonograph
The phonograph is a device created in 1877 for the mechanised duplication and tracking 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 sound vibration waveforms are documented as corresponding physical deviations of a spiral groove engraved, etched, incised, or impressed in to the surface of your rotating disk 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 registered audio faintly. In early acoustic phonographs, the stylus vibrated a diaphragm which produced sound waves which were 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 called record players (since 1940s) or, most recently, turntables), the motions of the stylus are changed into an analogous electric signal by the transducer, transformed back into sound with a loudspeaker then.
The phonograph was created in 1877 by Thomas Edison. While other inventors possessed produced devices which could record looks, Edison's phonograph was the first ever to be able to reproduce the saved sound. His phonograph formerly recorded audio onto a tinfoil sheet wrapped around a spinning cylinder. A stylus giving an answer to appear 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, like the use of wax-coated cardboard cylinders, and a cutting stylus that moved from side to side in a "zig zag" groove around the record.
In the 1890s, Emile Berliner initiated the changeover from phonograph cylinders to flat discs with a spiral groove running from the periphery to nearby the center. Later improvements through the years included improvements to the turntable and its own drive system, the stylus or needle, and the sound and equalization systems.
The disk phonograph record was the prominent audio tracking format throughout almost all of the 20th century. In the mid-1980s on, phonograph use on a standard record player declined sharply due to rise of the cassette tape, compact disk and other digital recording formats. Documents are a favorite format for some audiophiles and DJs still. Vinyl records are used by some DJs and musicians in their concert performances still. Musicians continue to release their recordings on vinyl records. The initial recordings of musicians are re-issued on vinyl sometimes.
Usage of terminology is not homogeneous across the English-speaking world (see below). In more modern usage, the playback device is called a "turntable", "record player", or "record changer". When found in conjunction with a mixer within a DJ setup, turntables are often called "decks".
The term phonograph ("sound writing") was produced from the Greek words ???? (phon?, "sound" or "voice") and ????? (graph?, "writing"). The similar related terms gramophone (from the Greek ?????? gramma "letter" and ???? ph?n? "words") and graphophone have similar main meanings. The origins were already familiar from existing 19th-century words such as picture ("light writing"), telegraph ("distant writing"), and mobile phone ("distant sound"). The new term may have been inspired by the prevailing words phonographic and phonography, which described something of phonetic shorthand; in 1852 THE BRAND NEW York Times taken an advert for "Professor Webster's phonographic class", and in 1859 the brand new York State Professors Relationship tabled a motion to "employ a phonographic recorder" to track record its meetings.
Arguably, any device used to track record sound or reproduce documented sound could be called a kind of "phonograph", however in common practice the indicated expression has come to suggest traditional technology of audio documenting, affecting audio-frequency modulations of any physical groove or track.
In the later 19th and early on 20th hundreds of years, "Phonograph", "Gramophone", "Graphophone", "Zonophone" and the like were still brands specific to various manufacturers of sometimes very different (i.e. cylinder and disk) machines; so substantial 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 way to obtain confusion both then and today.
In British British, "gramophone" may refer to any sound-reproducing machine using disk records, that have been 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, however in 1910 an English court decision decreed it had become a generic term; it has been so used in the united kingdom & most Commonwealth countries since. The word "phonograph" was usually restricted to machines which used cylinder records.
"Gramophone" generally described a wind-up machine. After the advantages of the softer vinyl details, 33 1/3-rpm LPs (long-playing details) and 45-rpm "single" or two-song documents, and EPs (extended-play recordings), the common name became "record player" or "turntable". Often the home record player was part of a system that included a radio (radiogram) and, later, might play audiotape cassettes also. 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 more specialized term; "gramophone" was restricted to the old mechanised (i.e., wind-up) players; and "phonograph" was used just as British English.
