microgroove

Vinyl's tiny track

Microgroove refers to the fine, closely spaced spiral groove on a long-playing vinyl record, as distinguished from the wider grooves of earlier 78 rpm records.

The term often appears as an adjective describing the records themselves: microgroove recordings, a microgroove LP.

The technology allowed longer playing times and better sound quality.
