Luxman antique phonograph

The phonograph is a tool invented in 1877 for the mechanical reproduction and recording 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 audio vibration waveforms are registered as corresponding physical deviations of the spiral groove engraved, etched, incised, or impressed into the surface of any 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 faintly reproducing the noted audio. In early acoustic phonographs, the stylus vibrated a diaphragm which produced sound waves which were coupled to the open air by using 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, most recently, turntables), the motions of the stylus are changed into an analogous electro-mechanical signal with a transducer, transformed back into audio with a loudspeaker then.

The phonograph was developed in 1877 by Thomas Edison. While other inventors acquired produced devices that could record noises, Edison's phonograph was the first ever to have the ability to reproduce the registered sound. His phonograph actually recorded sound onto a tinfoil sheet wrapped 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 laterally in a "zig zag" groove surrounding 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 over time included adjustments to the turntable and its own drive system, the stylus or needle, and the sound and equalization systems.

The disc phonograph record was the dominant audio recording format throughout most of the 20th hundred years. From the mid-1980s on, phonograph use on a standard record player declined as a result of rise of the cassette tape sharply, compact disk and other digital tracking formats. Files are a well liked format for a few audiophiles and DJs still. Vinyl records are being used by some DJs and musicians in their concert performances still. 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 consistent across the English-speaking world (see below). In more modern usage, the playback device is categorised as a "turntable", "record player", or "record changer". When used in conjunction with a mixer as part of a DJ installation, turntables are often called "decks".

The term 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? "words") 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 might have been affected by the prevailing words phonographic and phonography, which described something 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 Professors Connection tabled a movement 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", but in common practice the term has come to signify historical solutions of reasonable taking, relating audio-frequency modulations of an physical groove or track.

In the later 19th and early 20th generations, "Phonograph", "Gramophone", "Graphophone", "Zonophone" and so on were still brands specific to various producers of sometimes very different (i.e. cylinder and disc) machines; so considerable use was made of the universal 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 mouth - a potential way to obtain misunderstanding both and today then.

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

"Gramophone" generally described a wind-up machine. After the release of the softer vinyl fabric documents, 33 1/3-rpm LPs (long-playing files) 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 something that included a radio (radiogram) and, later, might also play audiotape cassettes. 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 complex term; "gramophone" was limited to the old mechanised (i.e., wind-up) players; and "phonograph" was used such as British English.
