The phonograph is a device created in 1877 for the mechanical tracking 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 documented as matching physical deviations of a spiral groove etched, etched, incised, or impressed in to the surface of your spinning cylinder or disc, called a "record". To recreate the audio, the top is similarly rotated while a playback stylus traces the groove and is also 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 a flaring horn, or directly 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 electrical signal by the transducer, transformed back into sound by the loudspeaker then.

The phonograph was invented in 1877 by Thomas Edison. While other inventors experienced produced devices that could record sounds, Edison's phonograph was the first ever to be able to reproduce the noted audio. His phonograph at first recorded audio onto a tinfoil sheet twisted around a spinning 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 from side to side in a "zig zag" groove across the record.

Within the 1890s, Emile Berliner initiated the changeover from phonograph cylinders to flat discs with a spiral groove jogging from the periphery to close to the center. Later improvements through the years included modifications to the turntable and its drive system, the stylus or needle, and the audio and equalization systems.

The disc phonograph record was the dominant audio saving format throughout most of the 20th hundred years. From the mid-1980s on, phonograph use on a standard record player declined sharply because of the rise of the cassette tape, compact disk and other digital tracking formats. Records remain a well liked format for a few audiophiles and DJs. 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 musicians are sometimes re-issued on vinyl fabric.

Usage of terminology is not consistent across the English-speaking world (see below). In newer usage, the playback device is often called a "turntable", "record player", or "record changer". When used in conjunction with a mixer within a DJ setup, 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 "letter" and ???? ph?n? "tone") and graphophone have similar root meanings. The roots were already familiar from existing 19th-century words such as photograph ("light writing"), telegraph ("distant writing"), and cell phone ("distant sound"). The new term may have been inspired by the existing words phonographic and phonography, which described a system of phonetic shorthand; in 1852 The New York Times taken an ad for "Professor Webster's phonographic class", and in 1859 the New York State Teachers Relationship tabled a movement to "employ a phonographic recorder" to track record its meetings.

Arguably, any device used to track record audio or reproduce noted sound could be called a kind of "phonograph", but in common practice the portrayed term has come to mean ancient technologies of audio documenting, regarding audio-frequency modulations of an physical groove or trace.

In the late 19th and early 20th ages, "Phonograph", "Gramophone", "Graphophone", "Zonophone" and the like were still brands specific to various manufacturers of sometimes very different (i.e. cylinder and disk) machines; so appreciable use was made of the general term "talking machine", in print especially. "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 mouth - a potential source of dilemma both and now then.

In British British, "gramophone" may refer to any sound-reproducing machine using disk records, that have been popularized and released 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 that it had turn into a generic term; it has been so used in the UK and most Commonwealth countries since. The word "phonograph" was usually limited to machines that used cylinder records.

"Gramophone" generally referred to a wind-up machine. After the launch of the softer vinyl files, 33 1/3-rpm LPs (long-playing files) 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, may also play audiotape cassettes. From about 1960, such a system 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 complex term; "gramophone" was restricted to the old mechanised (i.e., wind-up) players; and "phonograph" was used as in British English.
