Audio And Video Has Been Used Since 1850 ' S

The turntable, also called a record player, was invented in 1877 by Thomas Edison, who called it a phonograph. Later versions were called gramophones and Victrolas. By the late 1940s, high-fidelity and stereophonic sound were introduced, along with the vinyl LP. In the 1950s, because of these improvements, consumption of record players and records had sharply increased.

Early recording companies such as Columbia and the Victor Talking Machine Company sprang up as a result of this invention. Though the later disc record phonographs (also known as “gramophones”) won the format war against Edison’s cylindrical phonograph, Edison himself began the chain of innovation. If not for the phonograph, the Original Dixieland Jazz Band would not have recorded their first composition. Consequently, no later Jazz recordings would be

A very popular consumer item was the phonograph. It was first invented in 1877 but it was so expensive it took a while for the homes in america to get ahold of it , by the time of the 1920’s 7 million homes had their hands on one but they were still pretty expensive. The phonograph was a music recorder and to the people of america it was important because that's where most of their music came from either that other radio. It was referred to by many names like “talking machine” or “music machines” or its proper word “phonograph”. The most popular phonograph was called the “victor victrola”. Its inventors were Thomas Edison, Emile Berliner,Eldridge R. Johnson. The newer version of the phonograph that was produced in the 1920’s didn’t have

To begin it is necessary to note that there was some precedent for the exhibition of films even before the medium was created, because by the time film became widely-known in the 1890s, phonographs had been "set up in the arcades found in the heart of bustling cities," where "for a few cents customers could select various music and speeches, which they listen to through individual ear horns" (Gomery 4). Early film exhibitions attempted to recreate this process, using Thomas Edison's Kinetograph to draw customers into arcades, even though the concept of individual audiences make much more

In the twentieth century the use of recorded sound effects began to take over from live sound effects. Recorded sound effects came about due to the following, Leonardo da Vinci sketched design for a tube speaker and Felix Savart measured frequencies of musical pitches then Hermann von Helmholtz developed laws of harmonics and resonance. All of their discoveries lead to Edouard-Leon Scott de Martinville inventing the Phonautograph in 1857. The phonautograph uses a diaphragm that responds to sound waves to etch the waveform lines onto paper via the soot from an oil lamp. (noise addicts) in 1877, Thomas Edison recorded the first human voice when he used his invention the phonograph to record a woman singing the French folk song “Claire de

After reading"The Incredible Talking Machine","History Of The Cylinder Phonograph", and"Psst...Hey, You", it becomes evident that the phonograph and Audio Spotlight are similar.Both products were built,refined,and marketed.As a result,they became widely used and evolved into products we still use today.

Before music was able to be made, people had to watch live music and go to live shows. Then, phonographs, more commonly known as record players, were created in 1877 by Thomas Edison, which allowed people to listen to music at their house (Wilkinson 14-15). Records were created by vibrations hitting a receiver, a cylinder wrapped in tin foil and a thin membrane, or diaphragm, all attached to a needle. Sound waves would cause vibrations on the needle, therefore sketching the waves into the record. When the record was plugged in and the needle ran back over the waves it would repeat the sounds that created the initial vibrations (Wilkinson 15). Records were only the beginning of take home music. Soon, technology allowed different machines to pick up radio waves and play audio live as it was happening. Less than twenty years after the phonographs was made, in instrument know as the radio was made. The first productions of radios were for military purposes in

The music player is a device, which people should know, because the music player is missed by everyone who want to relax by listening the music. The first music player the world knew is Phonograph. Phonograph was made by Thomas Alva Edison Company in 1877. The Phonograph have two elements. The first element of the phonograph is have amplify the sound that is released by the phonograph. The amplifier features of the phonograph resemble a cone for the purpose that the amplifier can make a voice louder. The second element of the phonograph is Disc, which phonograph use to play. Disc resemble a large circle; moreover is the metal cylinder paper with tin foil wrapped around it. The phonograph have a complex function to make music; however, all of

In the 1920’s, Thomas Edison created the phonograph and for the first time ever, people could record sound, save it, then listen to it later at another time and place. Then, in the 1920’s people viewed motion pictures as a secondary form of entertainment due to the lack of music and sound in the films. In 1926, thanks to the help of the Warner Brothers in conjunction with Western Electric, movies had a whole new reputation. Together they introduced a new sound-on-disc system. In this system sound effects and music were recorded on a wax record that would later be synchronized with the film projector. At first they faced some rejection from the movie studios, but with the Premiere of The Jazz Singer in October of 1927, they officially changed

The first film that showed early signs of a rise in the quality of technology was the Western “The Great Train Robbery.” When this film first came out the audience were so amazed at the fact that they could watch something on a TV or at the cinema. Although this film was very good for the 1900s it still lacked some key features that make films much easier to understand such as dialogue, sound and camera shots. The one feature of a film that developed the quickest over the period of time was sound. Sound was introduced in October 1927 in the film “The Jazz singer”, which had three song numbers and a few lines of spoken dialogue. Apart from these few songs and words, the rest of the movie was silent, but the audience still thought that it was amazing that words had been spoken in the film, they used to call it “the movie that talked”.

The first jukebox named ‘’Edison Speaking Phonograph’’ was invented by Thomas Alva Edison in 1889. The jukebox is a device that plays a selected song after a coin is injected. They used to be found in catering occasions such as a Fast food restaurant. The jukebox was already invented in 1889 but became popular around the 1930’s. The Jukebox was most popular in the fifties. In the early fifties manufacturer Seeburg developed the Seeburg M100A. This Jukebox could as first be contain 50 plates and had a new modern design. Shortly thereafter, a new jukebox was added, the first 45-RPM jukebox; The M100B. In the sixties the popularity off the jukebox took off by new entertainment forms, such as the television.

RCA Victor launched these revolutionary phonographs that spun at 33 1/3-RPM which were pressed on a 30 cm (11.81 inches) disc and had a playing time of 22 minutes. This record was made out of a flexible plastic disc and could play up to about 10 minutes per side. They achieved this by using a shallower and a closer together groove than found on 78-RPM records. Despite this revolutionary creation the long-play disc was initially a commercial failure. The great depression brought about many financial hardships creating consumer affordability

Growing up, Buzzy was absorbed into the musical world and loved performing and listening to music. The history of recorded music started long before Buzzy was born in 1870. It was essentially the first non-print form of mass communication for the public. In 1877, Thomas Edison invented the phonograph, which allowed people to record telephone messages. Later, Alexander Graham Bell and Charles Tainter upgraded Edison’s creation by inventing the graphophone, which instead of using tinfoil like Edison, used beeswax to record sound. Soon after, companies began forming, such as The Columbia Phonograph Company that sold records on wax cylinders and the Victor Talking Company, which used the gramophone invented by Emile Berliner. Then, in the 1950s,

Since its infancy during the nineteenth century, the art of sound recording has been profoundly affected in countless ways by inventors, scientists, and sound engineers. From the invention of the phonograph to the computers of today, they have all made contributions to the foundation of sound recording. Going forward, technologists in today 's computer age are becoming more and more creative. There has even been proof that some researchers have had a hand in altering the course of history. With that in mind, the following questions need to be addressed:
