Uni-Q Driver and Digital Precision
At the heart of the Coda W lies a 5.25-inch KEF Uni-Q driver of the 12th generation. This coaxial arrangement combines tweeter and mid/bass units into a single point source, ensuring consistent dispersion and accurate imaging across the listening space. KEF’s Music Integrity Engine (MIE) optimises phase alignment, timing, and frequency response in real time, resulting in coherent, detailed sound reproduction. The outcome, according to KEF, is a natural tonal balance with tight bass, transparent mids, and refined treble – regardless of the listening position.
Connectivity and Streaming
Versatility defines the Coda W’s design. Bluetooth 5.4 with aptX Adaptive and aptX Lossless enables high-quality wireless playback, supporting CD-level resolution at 16 Bit and 44,1 kHz. For analog purists, the built-in MM phono stage allows direct connection of a turntable – a rare feature in compact streaming systems.
The USB-C input makes the Coda W an excellent desktop solution for computers and gaming setups, while the HDMI ARC connection with CEC control turns it into a capable TV audio system, often outperforming typical soundbars. Additional connections include an optical digital input, RCA line-in, and a subwoofer output, offering flexibility for both minimal and expanded HiFi configurations.
Design and Operation
The KEF Coda W’s form follows the brand’s minimalist aesthetic, with clean lines and tactile finishes that blend easily into modern interiors. All controls are accessible via the top-mounted panel, while the KEF Connect App provides access to EQ presets, source selection, and firmware updates. Each unit ships with a 3-metre speaker cable, with an optional 8-metre KEF C-Link available for wider setups. Dedicated KEF SQ1 stands further enhance placement flexibility and soundstage precision.
Price and Availability
The KEF Coda W will be available from October 2025 at a price of € 899,-. The optional KEF C-Link 8-metre speaker cable costs € 59,-, while the KEF SQ1 stands are priced at € 299,-. Distribution will take place through authorised KEF dealers and selected online retail partners.
Conclusion
With the Coda W, KEF redefines what a compact All-in-One HiFi system can be. It offers authentic stereo sound, seamless streaming, and genuine analog playback – all within a stylish, self-contained package. For those seeking a system that bridges the gap between vinyl tradition and modern convenience, the Coda W stands as a compelling new benchmark in accessible high-fidelity listening.
