These days we have a DVD, CD, MP3 and the World Wide Web for all of our musical desires. But none of them would have been possible without the appearance of the player, one of the most important components of entertainment electronics. It was so pioneering that after its invention in 1877, almost a hundred years passed shortly before it was replaced by new technologies. And yet today, record holders have an old-time musical feeling that ensures that they are still very popular with music fans around the world. Today, when someone thinks about the player, he often mentions Technics or sometimes the Crosley player. Although more than a hundred years ago, the most important thing is Thomas Edison.
Back in 1877, Thomas Edison developed what he called the phonograph. His first recordings were made on foil. These records had a spiral groove that went along the surface. A hand-cranked machine with a pin or stylus was used to read the disc grooves vibrating to the touch. This was called the hill and lobe method. Vibrations went up the stylus through a metal tube up to a large loudspeaker. The speakers made the vibrations more audible sound.
At a time when Thomas Edison completed his work, he was much more interested in numerous scientific applications, and not in the fact that he is perfect for playing music. This left further improvements for other scientists.
A decade later, Emil Berliner invented the disc plate and patented it in 1896. The Berliner project was derived from Edison, but instead of using the Hill-and-Dale method, where the grooves went up and down, his method, called the different lateral direction method, had textures at the edges of the grooves. The subsequent follow-up (VLD) was very soon, and very soon the original Head-and-Dale Edison method was no longer used.
Shortly before the mass production of disk recordings became possible when Emil Berliner invented the matrix recording. This master copy allowed you to create duplicate records indefinitely. At the moment, players were still running away from the grip. But when at the end of the 19th century it spun, electricity did too. Soon after the release of the electronic player. Unlike players with manual movement, which could differ in speed based on the strength of a person, electronic players provided a constant speed. This meant that there was zero deviation in the musical rhythm.
Over time, the players lose so well that whole families gather around them to enjoy quality entertainment. Early versions of the features of the previous song and the next song of today's MP3 and CD players were also released at this time. To be able to choose which track should play, the listener placed the needle in one of the empty grooves between the textured ones. And over the years, the turntable has been a favorite fan of music fans all over the world.
With the advent of the nineteen seventies, tape decks and 8 tracks came along, and soon after that the recordings and their players had some competition. However, when disc jockeys became furious at dance clubs and discos, the player remained strong.
Today, the player still loves music fans!
