Who invented the first Victrola?

The Victor-Victrola Page. The foundations for the Victor Talking Machine Company date back to the late 1880’s, when a creative entrepreneur named Emile Berliner invented the mass-production flat phonograph record.

Why was the Victrola invented?

Eldridge R. Johnson worked to improve the sound quality of discs, and ultimately found a method to record sounds in such a way that eliminated a lot of the scratchy feedback noises that were produced by Berliner’s shellac records and the vintage record players.
