vinyl record

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Medical, Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
vinyl record
An analog audio recording pressed in vinyl that rotates at 45 RPM (single song per side) or 33.3 RPM (Long Play). With the sound literally "carved" in a spiral groove starting at the outer edge of the platter, the undulations in the groove are an analog of the original acoustic waves. A needle (stylus) is placed in the groove, which oscillates as the platter rotates. The oscillations are converted to electricity, amplified and sent to the speakers. See LP, stylus and turntable.
