High-fidelity sound

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.

Plug-and-play with turntable, TV, or more

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.

Coda W effortlessly embraces classic analogue sound. It is turntable-ready, featuring an integrated phono pre-amplifier that connects directly to most turntables 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 setups. This allows listeners to rediscover the authentic warmth and depth of their vinyl collections.

With HDMI ARC connectivity, Coda W easily connects to your TV, making it simple to set up a home theatre system. Featuring a USB Type-C port input, it 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, accommodate sources such as CD players, Blu-ray players, and game consoles, establishing the Coda W as a truly versatile audio hub.
