Sound Recording
BIBLIOGRAPHY
See also Sound and Phonograph.
The first audio recording of a human voice was made on 9 April 1860 by French typesetter douard-Lon Scott de Martinville, on his invention, the phonautograph. Scott had made other recordings in the mid 1850s, but with imperfect equipment. Thomas Edison invented the phonograph in 1877, founding the Edison Speaking Phonograph Company the following year.
