Akai (recording) antique phonograph

The phonograph is a device invented in 1877 for the mechanical taking and reproduction 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 sound vibration waveforms are recorded as equivalent physical deviations of any spiral groove imprinted, etched, incised, or impressed into the surface of your rotating cylinder or disk, called a "record". To recreate the audio, the surface is similarly rotated while a playback stylus traces the groove and is therefore vibrated by it, very faintly reproducing the registered audio. In early acoustic phonographs, the stylus vibrated a diaphragm which produced sound waves that have been 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 called record players (since 1940s) or, most recently, turntables), the movements of the stylus are converted into an analogous electro-mechanical signal by the transducer, then turned back to sound by a loudspeaker.

The phonograph was developed in 1877 by Thomas Edison. While other inventors experienced produced devices that could record looks, Edison's phonograph was the first to be able to reproduce the documented sound. His phonograph at first recorded sound onto a tinfoil sheet twisted around a revolving cylinder. A stylus responding to reasonable vibrations produced an along 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 from side to side in a "zig zag" groove across the record.

Within the 1890s, Emile Berliner initiated the move from phonograph cylinders to smooth discs with a spiral groove working from the periphery to close to the center. Later advancements through the years included alterations to the turntable and its own drive system, the stylus or needle, and the equalization and audio systems.

The disk phonograph record was the dominant audio recording format throughout the majority of the 20th hundred years. Through the mid-1980s on, phonograph use on a standard record player declined due to rise of the cassette tape sharply, compact disk and other digital recording formats. Details remain a popular format for some audiophiles and DJs. Vinyl records are still used by some DJs and musicians in their concert performances. Musicians continue to release their recordings on vinyl records. The initial recordings of music artists are sometimes re-issued on vinyl fabric.

Usage of terminology is not even across the English-speaking world (see below). In more modern usage, the playback device is named a "turntable", "record player", or "record changer". When found in conjunction with a mixing machine 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 terms gramophone (from the Greek ?????? gramma "letter" and ???? ph?n? "words") and graphophone have similar main meanings. The roots were already familiar from existing 19th-century words such as picture ("light writing"), telegraph ("distant writing"), and telephone ("distant sound"). The new term might have been influenced by the prevailing words phonographic and phonography, which referred to something of phonetic shorthand; in 1852 The New York Times transported an advert for "Professor Webster's phonographic class", and in 1859 the New York State Professors Connection tabled a motion to "hire a phonographic recorder" to record its meetings.

Probably, any device used to track record audio or reproduce recorded audio could be called a kind of "phonograph", however in common practice the expressed term has come to suggest historic solutions of audio saving, relating audio-frequency modulations of an physical track or groove.

In the late 19th and early on 20th generations, "Phonograph", "Gramophone", "Graphophone", "Zonophone" and so on were still brand names specific to various manufacturers of sometimes completely different (i.e. cylinder and disc) machines; so sizeable use was made of the universal 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 source of misunderstanding both and today then.

In British English, "gramophone" may make reference to any sound-reproducing machine using disk records, that have been launched and popularized in the UK by the Gramophone Company. Originally, "gramophone" was a proprietary trademark of that 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 has been so used in the UK & most Commonwealth countries ever since. The word "phonograph" was usually restricted to machines that used cylinder records.

"Gramophone" generally described a wind-up machine. After the advantages of the softer vinyl fabric details, 33 1/3-rpm LPs (long-playing documents) and 45-rpm "single" or two-song details, and EPs (extended-play recordings), the normal name became "record player" or "turntable". Usually the home record player was part of a system 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 British, "record player" was the term; "turntable" was a far more specialized term; "gramophone" was restricted to the old mechanised (i.e., wind-up) players; and "phonograph" was used just as British English.
