Frequently asked questions

Are the KEF Coda W speakers completely wireless?

The 'wireless' in Coda W refers to how you play your music; you can stream audio wirelessly from your phone, tablet, or computer via Bluetooth. However, the speakers do require two physical connections: an interspeaker cable to link the primary and secondary speakers together, and a power cable to be plugged into a wall outlet. This design ensures they have consistent power and a perfectly stable connection to deliver the best possible high-fidelity sound.

What makes the Coda W the best speaker for vinyl players?

Coda W is the perfect partner for a turntable because it's a complete, high-performance audio system in one. The key feature for vinyl lovers is the built-in phono preamp, which allows you to connect most turntables directly to the speakers without needing an extra box. Because they are active speakers, you also don't need a separate amplifier. This creates a simple, elegant setup that delivers the warm, detailed, and authentic analogue sound you love, with modern convenience.

What is Bluetooth® 5.4 with aptX™ Lossless, and how does it improve my music?

This is the next generation of wireless audio, designed to deliver the highest possible sound quality over Bluetooth. Unlike standard Bluetooth which compresses music, aptX™ Lossless can stream music at true CD-quality, meaning you hear every single detail of the original recording without any data being lost. Combined with the stability and efficiency of Bluetooth 5.4, it means you get the freedom and convenience of a wireless connection with the stunning, high-fidelity sound you'd expect from a physical cable.

Reminder: Ensure your source device is compatible with the codec to experience true CD-quality audio.
