Stomp

Stomp is a type of musical theme, with a


fast rhythm, whose beat is accentuated
by tapping the floor with the foot. It was

on the last chorus of the original piano
version of the song "King Porter Stomp", 1 where the chords for the last 10 bars
are:

Phonograph

The phonograph was the most common


device for playing recorded sounds from
the 1870s to the 1880s . The
phonograph was invented by Thomas
Alva Edison , Eldridge R. Johnson and
Emile Berliner.

Tape recorder

Portable audio player

A portable audio player is a mobile


device that allows the user to listen to
previously recorded sounds. These
players usually use batteries as a power
source. In addition, they can use different
types of storage media , both analog and
digital. The sound is emitted through
speakers or headphones .

Compact Disc) is an optical disc used to
store data in digital format, consisting of
any type of information ( audio , images ,
video , documents and other data).
Standard CDs have a diameter of 12
centimeters , a thickness of 1.2
millimeters and can store up to 80
minutes of audio or 700 MB of data. Mini-
CDs are 8 cm and are used for the
distribution of singles and drivers, saving
up to 24 minutes of audio or 214 MB of
data.

their classification and uses outside the
field of communication, see

For the basic technical aspects and
uses of transmissions on the radio

walkman

The legendary Sony walkman.


The walkman was a portable stereo audio player
launched by the Japanese company Sony in 1979
. The first model was the TPS-L2. Of this model
and its subsequent revisions, Sony sold millions of units, although when it
appeared, in 1979, few could afford (buy) one due to its high price. The
walkman allowed you to obtain sound quality, through stereo headphones,
similar to that of a home system, without being so bulky.

Microphone

Basically, a microphone (from the


English microphone, coined in the 17th
century from the prefix micro, "small" and
the ancient Greek ϕωνή - foné, "voice") is
a device used to transform sound waves
into electrical energy and vice versa in
sound recording and reproduction
processes; It essentially consists of a
diaphragm intermittently attracted by an
electromagnet , which, when vibrating,
modifies the current transmitted by the
different pressures to a circuit.

Phone

The telephone is a telecommunications device designed to transmit acoustic


signals over a distance by means of electrical
signals.

Alexander Graham Bell was long considered


the inventor of the telephone, along with
Elisha Gray . However, Bell was not the
inventor of this device , but only the first to
patent it . This occurred in 1876.

Speaker

For the song by Luis Alberto Spinetta ,


see Parlante (song) .

A loudspeaker (also known as a


speaker in South America , Costa Rica
, El Salvador , Honduras ) 1 is an
electroacoustic transducer used for
sound reproduction . One or more
speakers can form a baffle .
Sound card

A sound card or sound card is an


expansion card for computers that allows
audio output controlled by a computer
program called a driver .

The typical use of sound cards consists of


making, through a program that acts as a
mixer , the multimedia applications of the
audio component sound and be managed.

The phonautograph

It was the first device capable of


recording sound literally speaking,
since the sound is recorded in the form
of a line on a support that consisted of
a cylinder with smoke from a lamp ,
although later it was impossible to
reproduce it, however this device
served to see that recording of sound
was possible, it was also used for
experiments in the field of hearing.

THE TURNTABLE

In 1925, the record player appeared for


the first time, its operation was based
on that of the gramophone, but with
small differences and improvements. To
begin with, it used a small electric motor
that moved the disc, replacing the
crank. In addition, the sound
reproduction was electrical and not
electroacoustic as was usual, which
made it possible to select the volume of
the playback and improve both the
quality and wear of the disc. disk.
boombox , boom-box , boombox or radio recorder

(in Argentina, Uruguay and Chile) is a portable stereo audio device capable of
playing music from radio stations or recorded (usually on cassettes , CDs or
USB memory ) and with relative sound power.

THE TELEGRAPHONE

Sound recording system. Specifically,


Analog Sound Recording and, more
specifically, Analog Mechanical
Recording .

In 1898, Valdemar Poulsen invented


the telegraph, the first machine to
record sound magnetically. He called
it that, because Poulsen's intention
was to record a voice message in the
event that a phone call occurred in
his absence from the user. That is, in a sense, Poulsen invented the first
answering machine .
