Phonograph
\Pho"no*graph\, n. [Phono- + -graph.]
1. A character or symbol used to represent a sound, esp. one
used in phonography.
[1913 Webster]
2. (Physics) An instrument for the mechanical registration
and reproduction of audible sounds, as articulate speech,
etc. It consists of a rotating cylinder or disk covered
with some material easily indented, as tinfoil, wax,
paraffin, etc., above which is a thin plate carrying a
stylus. As the plate vibrates under the influence of a
sound, the stylus makes minute indentations or undulations
in the soft material, and these, when the cylinder or disk
is again turned, set the plate in vibration, and reproduce
the sound.
[1913 Webster]
3. an instrument for reproducing sounds, especially music,
previously recorded on a plastic cylinder or disk as a
pattern of bumps or wiggles in a groove. A needle (stylus)
held in the groove is made to vibrate by motion (rotation)
of the recording, and the vibrations caused by the bumps
and wiggles are transmitted directly to a membrane, or
first to an electronic amplifier circuit, thereby
reproducing with greater or less fidelity the original
sounds. A phonograph which is equipped with electronics
enabling the playback of sound with high fidelity to the
original is often called a
hi-fi.
Note: In the 1990's such devices are beginning to be replaced
in many homes by compact disk players; the production
of plastic recordings of music for playback on a
phonograph has almost ceased for entertainment
purposes.
