antique phonograph

The phonograph is a tool developed in 1877 for the mechanised recording and duplication 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 saved as corresponding physical deviations of any spiral groove imprinted, etched, incised, or impressed into the surface of any spinning disk or cylinder, called a "record". To recreate the audio, the top is likewise rotated while a playback stylus traces the groove and is therefore vibrated by it, very faintly reproducing the recorded sound. In early acoustic phonographs, the stylus vibrated a diaphragm which produced sound waves which were coupled to the open air by having a 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 electric powered signal with a transducer, transformed back into sound by the loudspeaker then.

The phonograph was invented in 1877 by Thomas Edison. While other inventors had produced devices which could record looks, Edison's phonograph was the first to have the ability to reproduce the registered audio. His phonograph formerly recorded audio onto a tinfoil sheet wrapped around a revolving cylinder. A stylus giving an answer 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, like 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 move from phonograph cylinders to even discs with a spiral groove running from the periphery to near the center. Later advancements through the entire years included modifications to the turntable and its drive system, the needle or stylus, and the audio and equalization systems.

The disk phonograph record was the dominant audio tracking format throughout the majority of the 20th hundred years. From 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 taking formats. Documents remain a well liked format for a few audiophiles and DJs. 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 music artists are re-issued on vinyl sometimes.

Using terminology is not consistent over the English-speaking world (see below). In newer usage, the playback device is often called 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 term 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 "notice" and ???? ph?n? "speech") and graphophone have similar main meanings. The origins were already familiar from existing 19th-century words such as photograph ("light writing"), telegraph ("distant writing"), and telephone ("distant sound"). The new term may have been influenced by the existing words phonographic and phonography, which described 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 New York State Educators Relationship tabled a action to "employ a phonographic recorder" to track record its meetings.

Probably, any device used to record audio or reproduce saved sound could be called a type of "phonograph", however in common practice the indicated expression has come to suggest historic systems of sound recording, including audio-frequency modulations of any physical groove or trace.

In the later 19th and early on 20th ages, "Phonograph", "Gramophone", "Graphophone", "Zonophone" and so on were still brands specific to various creators of sometimes very different (i.e. cylinder and disc) machines; so considerable 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 lips - a potential way to obtain confusion both then and now.

In British English, "gramophone" may refer to any sound-reproducing machine using disk records, that have been introduced 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, however in 1910 an English court decision decreed that this had become a generic term; it has been so used in the united kingdom & 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 advantages of the softer vinyl fabric records, 33 1/3-rpm LPs (long-playing documents) and 45-rpm "single" or two-song records, 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, 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 word; "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.
