Bang & Olufsen antique phonograph

The phonograph is a device developed in 1877 for the mechanised taking and reproduction 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 registered as matching physical deviations of a spiral groove engraved, etched, incised, or impressed in to the surface of a spinning disk or cylinder, called a "record". To recreate the audio, the top is in the same way rotated while a playback stylus traces the groove and is therefore vibrated because of it, very faintly reproducing the documented audio. 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 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 electro-mechanical signal with a transducer, then converted back into audio by the loudspeaker.

The phonograph was created in 1877 by Thomas Edison. While other inventors experienced produced devices that could record may seem, Edison's phonograph was the first ever to be able to reproduce the noted sound. His phonograph originally recorded sound onto a tinfoil sheet twisted around a spinning cylinder. A stylus giving an answer to sensible 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, like the use of wax-coated cardboard cylinders, and a cutting stylus that moved laterally in a "zig zag" groove about the record.

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

The disk phonograph record was the prominent audio taking format throughout the majority of the 20th century. In the mid-1980s on, phonograph use on a standard record player declined as a result of rise of the cassette tape sharply, compact disc and other digital tracking formats. Documents are still a favorite format for some audiophiles and DJs. Vinyl records are still employed by some DJs and musicians in their concert performances. Musicians continue steadily to release their recordings on vinyl records. The initial recordings of music artists are re-issued on vinyl sometimes.

Using terminology is not homogeneous across the English-speaking world (see below). In newer usage, the playback device is often called a "turntable", "record player", or "record changer". When used in conjunction with a mixer within a DJ set up, turntables tend to be 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? "tone") 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 cell phone ("distant sound"). The brand new term might have been inspired by the existing words phonographic and phonography, which referred to a system of phonetic shorthand; in 1852 THE BRAND NEW York Times transported an advertisement for "Professor Webster's phonographic class", and in 1859 the brand new York State Instructors Connection tabled a action to "employ a phonographic recorder" to record its meetings.

Arguably, any device used to record sound or reproduce saved sound could be called a type of "phonograph", however in common practice the word has come to indicate ancient systems of reasonable recording, regarding audio-frequency modulations of an physical trace or groove.

In the past due 19th and early 20th generations, "Phonograph", "Gramophone", "Graphophone", "Zonophone" and the like were still brand names specific to various designers of sometimes very different (i.e. cylinder and disc) machines; so substantial use was manufactured from the general term "talking machine", in print especially. "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 mouth - a potential source of bafflement both and today then.

In British British, "gramophone" may make reference to any sound-reproducing machine using disc records, that have been popularized and presented 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 that this had turn into a generic term; it has been so used in the UK & most Commonwealth countries since. The term "phonograph" was usually limited to machines that used cylinder records.

"Gramophone" generally referred to a wind-up machine. Following the benefits of the softer vinyl fabric information, 33 1/3-rpm LPs (long-playing files) and 45-rpm "single" or two-song data, and EPs (extended-play recordings), the common name became "record player" or "turntable". Usually 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 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 technological term; "gramophone" was limited to the old mechanical (i.e., wind-up) players; and "phonograph" was used as in British English.
