Dylan Casey - My view of the world




Welcome to my corner of the interweb. I like to post here about stuff I'm interested in like music, gadgets, hacks and the occasional random thought. You can read what the internets have to say about me here. I used to race bikes with the US Postal Service Professional Cycling team before hanging up my wheels to join the product team at Google. I don't race much anymore but I work with Team Specialized and mentor the juniors. Currently I spend time working at Path when I'm not tinkering with other projects or restoring my 1966 Mustang. I'm passionate about gadgets, bikes, mobile, social, and fighting cancer. You can reach me at dylan at dylancasey dot com. Check out my latest interests: The Fancy, Turntable.FM and Path.

Another Sonos Project - Outdoor Speakers

If you know me, it’s no secret that I’m a Sonos fan and with the recent launch of the Sonos Play3, I finally pulled the trigger on installing another zone……outside. The cool part is that all I had to do was mount the 2 Sonos boxes using simple L brackets, route power from my attic and add the zone….no need for speaker wires and my whole house, inside and out, has synced audio. The PMs at Sonos were thinking since they included a way to mount the speaker by including a mounting hole on the back of the unit. All I needed was 2 Standard 1/4” /20 threaded bolts and a 2 - 6 inch aluminium L brackets that I picked up at the local hardware store. The other cool feature of the Sonos Play3 is that you can stereo pair the units. So I installed 2 of them and have stereo sound in high fidelity for outdoor BBQs. I mounted them under the over hang so they should survive whatever outdoor conditions they might encounter. This might be more of an issue if you live near the coast or in a rough winter area but you can easily remove them for the off season . Here’s a few photos from the install. Feel free to ask me any questions if you need help installing your own outdoor Sonos speakers.
