Masque Sound was founded in 1936 by a group of three stagehands, Mac Landsman, Sam Saltzman and John Shearing.
Shearing learned how to be a prop man from his father, Arthur, a prop man himself at the Metropolitan Opera. Shearing honed his skills as a carpenter in a number of Broadway scene shops before teaming up with Landsman and Saltzman. Saltzman was the electronics visionary who was already involved in the closed-circuit television business, broadcasting surgeries to medical students. Landsman who had a business background would spearhead the business functions of the group.
With the vision and skills necessary to take Broadway audio past the technical limitations of their time, the partners created a business that would grow to become one of the most successful theatrical sound design and installation companies in the industry.
