单词 | gramophone |
释义 | gramophonen. An instrument for the reproduction of recorded sound, similar in principle to the phonograph but using, instead of a drum, a flat disc containing a spiral groove; a stylus is allowed to rest in the groove as the disc is rotated on a turntable, and the vibrations communicated to the stylus by the iregularities in the groove are transformed into sound vibrations. (In the U.S., phonograph is the generic name for such an instrument.) In its modern form, with an electric motor, electronic amplification, and one or more loudspeakers, it is now more commonly termed a ‘record-player’. The earliest gramophones were also used to cut records, using blank discs.
