Clearaudio Electronic antique phonograph
The phonograph is a tool invented in 1877 for the mechanical reproduction and taking 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 documented as corresponding physical deviations of a spiral groove etched, etched, incised, or impressed in to the surface of the spinning cylinder or disk, called a "record". To recreate the sound, the surface is likewise rotated while a playback stylus traces the groove and is therefore vibrated because of it, very reproducing the recorded audio faintly. In early acoustic phonographs, the stylus vibrated a diaphragm which produced sound waves that have been coupled to the open air by using 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, most recently, turntables), the motions of the stylus are converted into an analogous electric signal by way of a transducer, transformed back into sound by the loudspeaker then.
The phonograph was developed in 1877 by Thomas Edison. While other inventors possessed produced devices that could record looks, Edison's phonograph was the first ever to be able to reproduce the registered audio. His phonograph actually recorded sound onto a tinfoil sheet covered around a revolving cylinder. A stylus responding 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 from side to side in a "zig zag" groove throughout the record.
In the 1890s, Emile Berliner initiated the transition from phonograph cylinders to chiseled discs with a spiral groove running from the periphery to near to the center. Later improvements through the full years included alterations to the turntable and its drive system, the stylus or needle, and the sound and equalization systems.
The disc phonograph record was the prominent audio recording format throughout most of the 20th century. From the mid-1980s on, phonograph use on a standard record player declined sharply as a result of rise of the cassette tape, compact disc and other digital taking formats. Details are still a favorite format for a few 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 original recordings of musicians are re-issued on vinyl fabric sometimes.
Usage of terminology is not homogeneous over 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 mixing machine as part of 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 of voice") and graphophone have similar root meanings. The root base were already familiar from existing 19th-century words such as photo ("light writing"), telegraph ("distant writing"), and mobile phone ("distant sound"). The new term might have been affected by the existing words phonographic and phonography, which referred to a system of phonetic shorthand; in 1852 The New York Times transported an ad for "Professor Webster's phonographic class", and in 1859 the brand new York State Instructors Relationship tabled a movement 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 portrayed phrase has come to suggest traditional technology of audio documenting, involving audio-frequency modulations of any physical trace or groove.
In the overdue 19th and early on 20th centuries, "Phonograph", "Gramophone", "Graphophone", "Zonophone" and the like were still brands specific to various creators of sometimes very different (i.e. cylinder and disc) machines; so significant use was manufactured from the generic 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 lips - a potential source of misunderstandings both and today then.
In British English, "gramophone" may refer to any sound-reproducing machine using disc records, that have been presented and popularized in the united kingdom 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, however in 1910 an English court decision decreed that this had turn into a generic term; it has been so used in the united kingdom & most Commonwealth countries since. The term "phonograph" was usually restricted to machines that used cylinder records.
"Gramophone" generally referred to a wind-up machine. Following the benefits of the softer vinyl fabric data, 33 1/3-rpm LPs (long-playing files) and 45-rpm "single" or two-song files, and EPs (extended-play recordings), the normal name became "record player" or "turntable". Often the home record player was part of a system that included a radio (radiogram) and, later, may also play audiotape cassettes. From about 1960, such a system 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 technical term; "gramophone" was restricted to the old mechanical (i.e., wind-up) players; and "phonograph" was used just as British English.
