Goldring antique phonograph

The phonograph is a tool created in 1877 for the mechanical saving and duplication 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 documented as matching physical deviations of the spiral groove imprinted, etched, incised, or impressed in to the surface of an revolving disc or cylinder, called a "record". To recreate the sound, the top is in the same way rotated while a playback stylus traces the groove which is therefore vibrated because of it, very reproducing the noted sound faintly. 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 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 electrical power signal by a transducer, then changed back into audio by the loudspeaker.

The phonograph was developed in 1877 by Thomas Edison. While other inventors acquired produced devices that could record looks, Edison's phonograph was the first ever to be able to reproduce the noted sound. His phonograph originally recorded sound 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, including the use of wax-coated cardboard cylinders, and a cutting stylus that moved laterally in a "zig zag" groove across the record.

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

The disk phonograph record was the dominating audio taking format throughout the majority of the 20th century. 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 recording formats. Details are a popular format for some audiophiles and DJs still. Vinyl records are being 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 fabric sometimes.

Using terminology is not uniform across the English-speaking world (see below). In more modern usage, the playback device is called a "turntable", "record player", or "record changer". When found in conjunction with a mixer within a DJ set up, turntables are often 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 root meanings. The origins 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 may have been affected by the prevailing words phonographic and phonography, which described something of phonetic shorthand; in 1852 THE BRAND NEW York Times taken an ad for "Professor Webster's phonographic class", and in 1859 the New York State Instructors Connection tabled a action to "hire a phonographic recorder" to 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 term has come to imply historical technology of sensible saving, regarding audio-frequency modulations of the physical trace or groove.

In the late 19th and early 20th ages, "Phonograph", "Gramophone", "Graphophone", "Zonophone" and so on were still brand names specific to various producers of sometimes completely different (i.e. cylinder and disk) machines; so extensive use was made of the general 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 confusion both then and now.

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

"Gramophone" generally described a wind-up machine. Following the intro of the softer vinyl information, 33 1/3-rpm LPs (long-playing data) and 45-rpm "single" or two-song files, 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, might play audiotape cassettes also. From about 1960, such something began to be described as 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 technological term; "gramophone" was restricted to the old mechanised (i.e., wind-up) players; and "phonograph" was used just as British English.
