What is a Phonautograph? #audio #history #facts

In 1857 France, a significant development in audio technology occurred with the invention of the phonautograph by Édouard-Léon Scott de Martinville. The phonautograph was an early device capable of visually recording sound waves onto paper using a vibrating diaphragm and stylus. Although the recordings made by the phonautograph could not be played back audibly, it marked an important milestone in the history of audio technology, laying the groundwork for subsequent innovations in sound recording and reproduction.
