Douglas Shearer, chief of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer’s (MGM) sound department, decided to design his own loudspeakers in 1933 after being dissatisfied with Western Electric and RCA’s products. John Hilliard, Robert Stephens, and John F. Blackburn were part of the team that created the Shearer Horn, while Lansing Manufacturing produced the 285 compression driver and the 15XS bass driver. The Shearer Horn provided the needed improvements, and Western Electric and RCA were awarded contracts to produce 75 units each. Western Electric dubbed them Diaphonics, whereas RCA utilized them in its RCA Photophones. Lansing Manufacturing was the only company offering them as Shearer Horns. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences honored Shearer Horn with the Academy Scientific and Technical Award in 1936.
