analogue signal
In electronics, current or voltage that conveys or stores information, and varies continuously in the same way as the information it represents (compare digital signal). Analogue signals are prone to interference and distortion.
The bumps in the grooves of a vinyl record form a mechanical analogue of the sound information stored, which is then converted into an electrical analogue signal by the record player's pick-up device.
