Electric version of gramophone From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Archéophone is a modern, electric version of the phonographs and ediphones from the 19th and early 20th century. It is specifically designed to transfer phonograph cylinders and other cylinder formats to modern recording media.[1][2]
Designed in France by Henri Chamoux, the machine is used to transfer and preserve recordings at The Library of Congress, the Bibliothèque Nationale de France, Edison National Historic Site,[3] UC Santa Barbara,[4] University of North Carolina,[5] University College Dublin,[6] the Canadian Museum of Civilization and many other libraries and archives. Weighing almost 25 kg and costing over US $30,000, the Archéophone is a specialist's tool and not available to the general public. However, CDs with transferred cylinder recordings have been made available by various record labels and organizations.
