NAD Electronics antique phonograph

The phonograph is a tool developed in 1877 for the mechanical saving 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 documented as equivalent physical deviations of the spiral groove imprinted, etched, incised, or impressed in to the surface of the rotating cylinder or disc, 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 reproducing the recorded audio faintly. In early acoustic phonographs, the stylus vibrated a diaphragm which produced sound waves that have been coupled to the open air by using 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, most recently, turntables), the movements of the stylus are changed into an analogous electronic signal by the transducer, converted back to audio by way of a loudspeaker then.

The phonograph was invented in 1877 by Thomas Edison. While other inventors acquired produced devices that could record tones, Edison's phonograph was the first to be able to reproduce the recorded sound. His phonograph originally recorded audio onto a tinfoil sheet twisted around a spinning 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 throughout the record.

In the 1890s, Emile Berliner initiated the transition from phonograph cylinders to toned discs with a spiral groove jogging from the periphery to nearby the center. Later advancements through the full years included adjustments to the turntable and its own drive system, the needle or stylus, and the sound and equalization systems.

The disk phonograph record was the dominant audio taking format throughout most of the 20th hundred years. In 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 tracking formats. Records are a well liked format for a few audiophiles and DJs still. 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 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 installation, turntables are often 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? "speech") and graphophone have similar root meanings. The root base 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 influenced by the prevailing words phonographic and phonography, which described a system of phonetic shorthand; in 1852 THE BRAND NEW York Times transported an advertising campaign for "Professor Webster's phonographic class", and in 1859 the New York State Educators Association tabled a motion to "employ a phonographic recorder" to track record its meetings.

Probably, any device used to record audio or reproduce recorded audio could be called a type of "phonograph", but in common practice the indicated phrase has come to mean traditional technology of sound recording, concerning audio-frequency modulations of the physical groove or trace.

In the past due 19th and early on 20th decades, "Phonograph", "Gramophone", "Graphophone", "Zonophone" and the like were still brands specific to various manufacturers of sometimes very different (i.e. cylinder and disc) machines; so extensive use was made of the generic 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 British, "gramophone" may refer to any sound-reproducing machine using disk records, that have been unveiled 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 so it had turn into a generic term; it's been so used in the UK and most Commonwealth countries since. The term "phonograph" was usually restricted to machines which used cylinder records.

"Gramophone" generally referred to a wind-up machine. After the benefits of the softer vinyl fabric data, 33 1/3-rpm LPs (long-playing records) and 45-rpm "single" or two-song records, and EPs (extended-play recordings), the normal name became "record player" or "turntable". Usually the home record player was part of something that included a radio (radiogram) and, later, may 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 British, "record player" was the term; "turntable" was a more specialized term; "gramophone" was restricted to the old mechanised (i.e., wind-up) players; and "phonograph" was used as with British English.
