reproducer
Duplicates the original
A reproducer is something that reproduces—makes copies, generates offspring, or plays back recorded material.
In audio equipment, a reproducer is a device that converts recorded signals back into sound: The phonograph's reproducer was worn and scratchy.
In biology, it may describe an organism or individual capable of reproduction.
The word is uncommon outside technical contexts.
