At the end of the 16th century, the Italian scientist Giovanni Battista della Porta was already thinking about recording and reproducing the human word. The breakthrough in technology came on July 18, 1877, when the American electrical engineer Thomas Alva Edison succeeded for the first time in recording and reproducing the human voice.
At the same time, the German inventor Emil Berliner, who had emigrated to the USA, researched sound recording on a record and was successful. On November 6, 1898, he and his brother Joseph founded Deutsche Grammophon GmbH in Hanover, where the first records were mass-produced.
In 1902, the famous Italian opera tenor Enrico Caruso heralded the worldwide triumph of the record. He made records socially acceptable and the demand for these sound carriers rose abruptly. The round sound carrier became a hit on every continent. The gramophone as a playback device came onto the market in May 1888.
Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) was first used as a base material on June 21, 1948, when the Hungarian-American physicist Dr. Peter Goldmark discovered that PVC significantly improved sound quality as a record material. PVC thus replaced shellac as the base material, especially as it is more flexible to use and less sensitive as a material.
