Graphophone antique phonograph

The phonograph is a tool developed in 1877 for the mechanised duplication and saving of audio. In its later forms additionally it is called a gramophone (as a trademark since 1887, as a generic name since c. 1900). The audio vibration waveforms are registered as related physical deviations of an spiral groove engraved, etched, incised, or impressed into the surface of an spinning cylinder or disk, called a "record". To recreate the sound, the surface is in the same way rotated while a playback stylus traces the groove and it 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 by way of 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, lately, turntables), the movements of the stylus are changed into an analogous electrical signal with a transducer, modified back into audio by the loudspeaker then.

The phonograph was created in 1877 by Thomas Edison. While other inventors had produced devices which could record does sound, Edison's phonograph was the first to have the ability to reproduce the noted audio. His phonograph formerly recorded audio onto a tinfoil sheet wrapped around a spinning cylinder. A stylus responding to sound vibrations produced an along 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 about the record.

Inside the 1890s, Emile Berliner initiated the changeover from phonograph cylinders to toned discs with a spiral groove operating from the periphery to near to the center. Later advancements over time included modifications to the turntable and its own drive system, the needle or stylus, and the equalization and sound systems.

The disk phonograph record was the dominating audio saving format throughout almost all of the 20th century. Through the mid-1980s on, phonograph use on a standard record player declined sharply because of the rise of the cassette tape, compact disc and other digital saving formats. Data are a favorite format for some audiophiles and DJs still. Vinyl records are being used by some DJs and musicians in their concert performances still. Musicians continue to release their recordings on vinyl records. The original recordings of music artists are occasionally re-issued on vinyl fabric.

Using terminology is not uniform over the English-speaking world (see below). In newer usage, the playback device is named a "turntable", "record player", or "record changer". When found in conjunction with a mixing machine as part of a DJ set up, turntables are often 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? "voice") and graphophone have similar root meanings. The origins were already familiar from existing 19th-century words such as picture ("light writing"), telegraph ("distant writing"), and cell phone ("distant sound"). The brand new term might have been inspired by the prevailing words phonographic and phonography, which referred to a system of phonetic shorthand; in 1852 The New York Times carried an advertisements for "Professor Webster's phonographic class", and in 1859 the brand new York State Professors Connection tabled a movement to "hire a phonographic recorder" to track record its meetings.

Arguably, any device used to record sound or reproduce saved sound could be called a kind of "phonograph", but in common practice the indicated word has come to suggest traditional solutions of audio saving, relating audio-frequency modulations of a physical trace or groove.

In the late 19th and early on 20th hundreds of years, "Phonograph", "Gramophone", "Graphophone", "Zonophone" and so on were still brands specific to various designers of sometimes very different (i.e. cylinder and disk) machines; so significant use was manufactured from the universal 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 confusion both then and today.

In British English, "gramophone" may make reference to any sound-reproducing machine using disc records, that have been created and popularized in the united kingdom 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 it had turn into a generic term; it's been so used in the UK and most Commonwealth countries ever since. The word "phonograph" was usually restricted to machines which used cylinder records.

"Gramophone" generally referred to a wind-up machine. After the intro of the softer vinyl records, 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 a system that included a radio (radiogram) and, later, may also play audiotape cassettes. From about 1960, such a system began to be described as 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 more complex term; "gramophone" was restricted to the old mechanised (i.e., wind-up) players; and "phonograph" was used as in British English.
