Goldring antique phonograph

The phonograph is a device created in 1877 for the mechanical reproduction and saving 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 audio vibration waveforms are recorded as corresponding physical deviations of the spiral groove etched, etched, incised, or impressed into the surface of any spinning cylinder or disk, called a "record". To recreate the audio, the top is likewise rotated while a playback stylus traces the groove and is also therefore vibrated because of it, very reproducing the saved 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 called record players (since 1940s) or, most recently, turntables), the motions of the stylus are changed into an analogous electric signal by the transducer, turned back into sound by the loudspeaker then.

The phonograph was invented in 1877 by Thomas Edison. While other inventors had produced devices which could record may seem, Edison's phonograph was the first to be able to reproduce the saved audio. His phonograph actually 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, like the use of wax-coated cardboard cylinders, and a cutting stylus that moved laterally in a "zig zag" groove about the record.

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

The disc 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 because of the rise of the cassette tape sharply, compact disc and other digital saving formats. Files are a well liked format for a few audiophiles and DJs still. Vinyl records are still used by some DJs and musicians in their concert performances. Musicians continue to release their recordings on vinyl records. The original recordings of music artists are occasionally 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 called a "turntable", "record player", or "record changer". When used in conjunction with a mixer as part of a DJ setup, 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? "tone of voice") and graphophone have similar main meanings. The roots were already familiar from existing 19th-century words such as photo ("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 referred to something of phonetic shorthand; in 1852 THE BRAND NEW York Times carried an ad for "Professor Webster's phonographic class", and in 1859 the New York State Teachers Association tabled a action to "hire a phonographic recorder" to track record its meetings.

Probably, any device used to track record sound or reproduce recorded audio could be called a type of "phonograph", however in common practice the word has come to mean historical technology of reasonable tracking, concerning audio-frequency modulations of a physical groove or trace.

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

In British English, "gramophone" may make reference to any sound-reproducing machine using disk records, that have been popularized and launched 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's been so used in the united kingdom and most Commonwealth countries ever since. The word "phonograph" was usually limited to machines which used cylinder records.

"Gramophone" generally referred to a wind-up machine. After the launch of the softer vinyl fabric records, 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 play audiotape cassettes also. 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 English, "record player" was the word; "turntable" was a far more technical term; "gramophone" was restricted to the old mechanised (i.e., wind-up) players; and "phonograph" was used such as British English.
