KEF Coda W speakers
For over 60 years, KEF has been defined by a relentless pursuit of unrivalled high-fidelity sound. Now, KEF introduces Coda W (£799 / pair), a refined all-in-one speaker that honours the original Coda speakers with modern enhancements, designed to bring your turntable to life with impeccable clarity, and then shift seamlessly to the untethered freedom of wireless streaming.
Inspired by the original Coda series, which made high-fidelity sound more accessible, the new Coda W blends KEF’s signature acoustic precision with thoughtful, intuitive usability, making exceptional sound effortlessly available to today’s listeners. Whether rediscovering classic records or streaming wirelessly, Coda W delivers rich, room-filling sound with understated elegance.
“Our goal has always been to deliver the most authentic sound possible – the kind that forges an emotional connection,” said Grace Lo, President and Head of Global Marketing at KEF. “We designed the Coda W for those of us who love the ritual of vinyl – the magic of dropping a needle on a record, that moment of anticipation. With Coda W, you can get completely immersed in the depth of your records, appreciating the richness and nuance in every note, then switch to streaming a new track seamlessly. It’s about rediscovering your favourite songs like never before.”
Signature KEF acoustic technology
At the heart of the Coda W speaker lies a large 5.25-inch 12th-generation Uni-Q driver array, delivering remarkably detailed performance. This cutting-edge technology is the result of decades of KEF’s acoustic expertise, backed by advanced simulation and precision engineering. This signature technology acts as a point source, with the tweeter positioned at the precise acoustic centre of the woofer, recreating how sound is produced naturally. This ensures uniform dispersion throughout the room, creating an exceptionally natural and immersive listening experience.
Coda W offers a combined 200 watts of system power. Both the primary and secondary speakers are equipped with dedicated amplifiers for the tweeter and woofer, delivering room-filling sound from the compact cabinets. To refine performance even further, KEF’s Music Integrity Engine – a proprietary suite of DSP algorithms – has been specially tuned for Coda W, enhancing overall performance by providing remarkable sound integrity, detail, and accuracy.
Leveraging Bluetooth 5.4 aptX Adaptive, Coda W offers high-quality, low-latency audio for seamless listening, delivering exceptional clarity and a reliable connection. The aptX Lossless codec supports CD-quality resolution up to 16-bit/44.1 kHz, enabling the speakers to reproduce sound with impeccable clarity and dynamic range while preserving the pristine details of your favourite music. It’s about more than just listening; it’s about rediscovering every note.
Made for vinyl enthusiasts
The Coda W effortlessly embraces classic analogue sound. It is turntable-ready, featuring an integrated phono pre-amplifier that connects directly to almost any turntable without the need for additional equipment. For turntables with a built-in phono preamp, Coda W also supports RCA (LINE) input, offering flexibility across different setup. This allows listeners to rediscover the authentic warmth and depth of their vinyl collections.
Coda W is engineered for seamless integration into any lifestyle, offering the freedom of wireless streaming and versatile wired connectivity. It excels both modern and classic audio sources, serving as a hub for high-fidelity sound.
For a modern listening experience, Coda W allows you to stream music wirelessly from a phone, tablet, or laptop. Bluetooth connectivity ensures a simple, convenient pairing process and the freedom to play audio instantly.
With HDMI ARC, Coda W connects to your TV easily, making it simple to set up a home theatre system. Featuring a USB Type-C port input, Coda W elevates your computer audio and supports high-resolution audio decoding up to 24-bit/192kHz. For further flexibility, an array of additional inputs, including RCA and optical, accommodates sources such as CD players, Blu-ray players, and game consoles, establishing the Coda W as a truly versatile audio hub.
For those desiring deeper bass, Coda W includes a dedicated subwoofer output for easy connection to a compatible KEF subwoofer. This is ideal for enhancing your home theatre experience on movies or enriching music with extended low-frequency response. For greater placement flexibility, the optional KW1 wireless subwoofer adapter kit enables a pristine wireless connection, eliminating cable clutter.
