The phonograph is a tool invented in 1877 for the mechanised duplication and saving of sound. In its later forms additionally it is called a gramophone (as a trademark since 1887, as a generic name since c. 1900). The audio vibration waveforms are saved as matching physical deviations of your spiral groove engraved, etched, incised, or impressed in to the surface of an spinning disc or cylinder, called a "record". To recreate the audio, the top is in the same way rotated while a playback stylus traces the groove which is therefore vibrated by it, very faintly reproducing the recorded audio. In early acoustic phonographs, the stylus vibrated a diaphragm which produced sound waves which were coupled to the open air via a 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, most recently, turntables), the movements of the stylus are converted into an analogous electrical power signal by way of a transducer, transformed back to sound by way of a loudspeaker then.

The phonograph was invented in 1877 by Thomas Edison. While other inventors had produced devices which could record noises, Edison's phonograph was the first to be able to reproduce the registered sound. His phonograph actually recorded audio onto a tinfoil sheet wrapped around a spinning cylinder. A stylus giving an answer to reasonable vibrations produced an up and down or hill-and-dale groove in the foil. 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 about the record.

Within the 1890s, Emile Berliner initiated the transition from phonograph cylinders to toned discs with a spiral groove running from the periphery to close to the center. Later improvements over time included alterations 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 recording format throughout most 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 disc and other digital taking formats. Details are a favorite 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 musicians are sometimes re-issued on vinyl.

Using terminology is not homogeneous 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 as part of a DJ installation, turntables are often called "decks".

The term phonograph ("sound writing") was derived from the Greek words ???? (phon?, "sound" or "voice") and ????? (graph?, "writing"). The similar related conditions gramophone (from the Greek ?????? gramma "letter" and ???? ph?n? "speech") and graphophone have similar root meanings. The origins were already familiar from existing 19th-century words such as photo ("light writing"), telegraph ("distant writing"), and mobile phone ("distant sound"). The new term may have been influenced by the existing words phonographic and phonography, which described a system of phonetic shorthand; in 1852 THE BRAND NEW York Times taken an advert for "Professor Webster's phonographic class", and in 1859 the New York State Instructors Relationship tabled a motion to "employ a phonographic recorder" to track record its meetings.

Probably, any device used to track record audio or reproduce registered audio could be called a kind of "phonograph", however in common practice the indicated phrase has come to signify ancient systems of audio documenting, including audio-frequency modulations of a physical groove or track.

In the past due 19th and early on 20th centuries, "Phonograph", "Gramophone", "Graphophone", "Zonophone" and the like were still brand names specific to various designers of sometimes completely different (i.e. cylinder and disk) machines; so extensive use was manufactured from 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 English, "gramophone" may refer to any sound-reproducing machine using disc records, which were popularized and introduced 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, however in 1910 an English court decision decreed that this had become a generic term; it has been so used in the united kingdom & most Commonwealth countries ever since. The term "phonograph" was usually limited to machines that used cylinder records.

"Gramophone" generally referred to a wind-up machine. After the introduction of the softer vinyl fabric information, 33 1/3-rpm LPs (long-playing details) and 45-rpm "single" or two-song data, 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 English, "record player" was the term; "turntable" was a far more technical term; "gramophone" was limited to the old mechanised (i.e., wind-up) players; and "phonograph" was used as with British English.
