KEF, a brand synonymous with high-fidelity sound, has just unveiled a brilliant nod to its past, rebooted for the modern age: the KEF Coda W.
This new all-in-one wireless speaker system honors the original Coda series, which was famous for making high-quality audio more accessible. The new "W" (for Wireless) version is a powered, two-speaker system designed to be the versatile heart of your audio setup, seamlessly connecting everything from your turntable to your TV.
The KEF Signature Sound: Uni-Q Technology
At the core of the Coda W is KEF's legendary 12th-generation 5.25-inch Uni-Q driver array. This signature technology places the tweeter in the precise acoustic center of the woofer, acting as a single point source. The result is a more natural, detailed, and immersive sound that fills the room.
Power: The system provides 200 watts of total power, with each speaker having dedicated amplifiers for both its woofer (70W) and tweeter (30W).
DSP: KEF’s Music Integrity Engine (MIE), a proprietary DSP, is specially tuned for the Coda W to ensure all components work in perfect harmony, delivering a clear and accurate sound.
The All-In-One Connectivity Hub
This is where the Coda W truly stands out. It's not just a speaker; it's a complete system that connects to almost anything.
For Vinyl Lovers: It features a built-in MM phono preamplifier, allowing you to plug your turntable directly into the speakers—no extra boxes needed.
For TV & Movies: An HDMI ARC port lets you connect your TV with a single cable for a massive audio upgrade.
For Desktop Audio: A USB-C input supports high-resolution audio up to 24-bit/192kHz, making it a perfect high-end computer speaker system.
For Wireless Streaming: It's equipped with Bluetooth 5.4, including aptX Adaptive and aptX Lossless for CD-quality streaming from your phone or tablet.
Other Inputs: It also includes an optical input and a standard RCA line-in.
Bass Upgrade: A dedicated subwoofer output lets you easily add a powered sub for extra low-end punch.
Design & Control
The Coda W features a minimalist, clean design with subtle detailing, available in five curated finishes: Vintage Burgundy, Nickel Grey, Moss Green, Midnight Blue, and Dark Titanium.
You can control playback with the intuitive buttons on the top panel or dive deeper with the KEF Connect app, which gives you access to EQ presets and other speaker settings.
