The phonograph is a tool created in 1877 for the mechanised recording 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 sound vibration waveforms are registered as related physical deviations of an spiral groove etched, etched, incised, or impressed in to the surface of your spinning disk or cylinder, called a "record". To recreate the sound, the surface is likewise rotated while a playback stylus traces the groove and is therefore vibrated by it, very reproducing the documented audio faintly. In early acoustic phonographs, the stylus vibrated a diaphragm which produced sound waves that have been coupled to the open air through the flaring horn, or right 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 converted into an analogous electronic signal by the transducer, modified back into audio with a loudspeaker then.

The phonograph was created in 1877 by Thomas Edison. While other inventors possessed produced devices that may record may seem, Edison's phonograph was the first to be able to reproduce the registered sound. His phonograph at first recorded sound onto a tinfoil sheet wrapped around a revolving cylinder. A stylus responding 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, including the use of wax-coated cardboard cylinders, and a cutting stylus that moved from side to side in a "zig zag" groove round the record.

In the 1890s, Emile Berliner initiated the transition from phonograph cylinders to flat discs with a spiral groove working from the periphery to near the center. Later advancements over time included adjustments to the turntable and its own drive system, the needle or stylus, and the equalization and audio systems.

The disc phonograph record was the dominant audio recording format throughout most of the 20th hundred years. In the mid-1980s on, phonograph use on a standard record player declined sharply due to rise of the cassette tape, compact disc and other digital recording formats. Data are a well liked format for a few audiophiles and DJs still. Vinyl records are used by some DJs and musicians in their concert performances still. Musicians continue steadily to release their recordings on vinyl records. The original recordings of music artists are re-issued on vinyl sometimes.

Using terminology is not standard over 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 tend to be called "decks".

The word phonograph ("sound writing") was derived from the Greek words ???? (phon?, "sound" or "voice") and ????? (graph?, "writing"). The similar related terms gramophone (from the Greek ?????? gramma "notice" and ???? ph?n? "speech") and graphophone have similar main meanings. The roots were already familiar from existing 19th-century words such as photo ("light writing"), telegraph ("distant writing"), and telephone ("distant sound"). The brand new term might have been affected by the existing words phonographic and phonography, which described something of phonetic shorthand; in 1852 The New York Times carried an advert for "Professor Webster's phonographic class", and in 1859 the brand new York State Educators Association tabled a movement to "hire a phonographic recorder" to record its meetings.

Probably, any device used to track record sound or reproduce saved sound could be called a kind of "phonograph", however in common practice the term has come to imply historic technology of sensible taking, including audio-frequency modulations of your physical groove or trace.

In the later 19th and early 20th centuries, "Phonograph", "Gramophone", "Graphophone", "Zonophone" and the like were still brands specific to various creators of sometimes very different (i.e. cylinder and disc) machines; so extensive 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 British, "gramophone" may make reference to any sound-reproducing machine using disc records, that have been created and popularized 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 united kingdom and most Commonwealth countries since. The word "phonograph" was usually restricted to machines that used cylinder records.

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