The phonograph is a tool created in 1877 for the mechanical reproduction and taking 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 sound vibration waveforms are noted as equivalent physical deviations of a spiral groove engraved, etched, incised, or impressed into the surface of an spinning disc or cylinder, called a "record". To recreate the sound, the surface is in the same way rotated while a playback stylus traces the groove and is therefore vibrated because of it, very reproducing the documented sound 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, lately, turntables), the motions of the stylus are converted into an analogous electro-mechanical signal by a transducer, changed back to audio by a loudspeaker then.
The phonograph was created in 1877 by Thomas Edison. While other inventors possessed produced devices which could record does sound, Edison's phonograph was the first to have the ability to reproduce the recorded audio. His phonograph formerly recorded sound onto a tinfoil sheet twisted around a rotating cylinder. A stylus giving an answer to sensible vibrations produced an along or hill-and-dale groove in the foil. 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 round the record.
Inside the 1890s, Emile Berliner initiated the transition from phonograph cylinders to flat discs with a spiral groove jogging from the periphery to nearby the center. Later advancements through the entire years 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 dominating audio tracking format throughout most of the 20th hundred years. Through 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 tracking formats. Files are a popular format for a few audiophiles and DJs still. Vinyl records are still used by some DJs and musicians in their concert performances. Musicians continue steadily to release their recordings on vinyl records. The original recordings of musicians are sometimes re-issued on vinyl fabric.
Using terminology is not standard 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 mixing machine within a DJ installation, turntables tend to be called "decks".
The term 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 "notice" and ???? ph?n? "speech") and graphophone have similar main meanings. The root base were already familiar from existing 19th-century words such as photo ("light writing"), telegraph ("distant writing"), and telephone ("distant sound"). The brand new term might have been affected by the existing words phonographic and phonography, which described a system of phonetic shorthand; in 1852 The New York Times carried an ad for "Professor Webster's phonographic class", and in 1859 the brand new York State Educators Connection tabled a movement to "hire a phonographic recorder" to track record its meetings.
Probably, any device used to record audio or reproduce saved audio could be called a type of "phonograph", however in common practice the indicated term has come to suggest historical solutions of audio documenting, affecting audio-frequency modulations of a physical groove or track.
In the past due 19th and early 20th hundreds of years, "Phonograph", "Gramophone", "Graphophone", "Zonophone" and so on were still brands specific to various designers of sometimes very different (i.e. cylinder and disc) machines; so substantial use was made of the common 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 confusion both then and today.
In British English, "gramophone" may refer to any sound-reproducing machine using disc records, which were unveiled 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 it had turn into a generic term; it's been so used in the united kingdom and most Commonwealth countries since. The word "phonograph" was usually restricted to machines that used cylinder records.
"Gramophone" generally described a wind-up machine. After the advantages of the softer vinyl fabric files, 33 1/3-rpm LPs (long-playing details) and 45-rpm "single" or two-song details, and EPs (extended-play recordings), the common name became "record player" or "turntable". Often the home record player was part of a system that included a radio (radiogram) and, later, might 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 technical term; "gramophone" was limited to the old mechanised (i.e., wind-up) players; and "phonograph" was used as with British English.
