Emile Berliner was a German-born American inventor and entrepreneur who made significant contributions to the fields of audio recording and telecommunications. He was born on May 20, 1851, in Hanover, Germany, and passed away on August 3, 1929, in Washington, D.C., United States.
Berliner is best known for his invention of the gramophone, a device for recording and reproducing sound. In 1887, he patented the flat disc record, which was a significant improvement over previous cylinder-based recording methods. The disc record allowed for mass production and easier playback, revolutionizing the music industry and paving the way for the development of modern audio recording and playback devices.
