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 AdaptiveTM, 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
Coda W is engineered for seamless integration into any lifestyle, offering the freedom of wireless streaming and versatile wired connectivity. It excels with 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.
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.
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 with 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.
Instant control at your fingertips
Designed for seamless operation, Coda W features intuitive top-panel buttons for quick access to essential functions and source switching. The KEF Connect app puts complete control at your fingertips. Select EQ presets to match your taste, manage speaker settings, update firmware, and explore the latest features—all from a single, intuitive interface.

Audio Technica AT-LP8X Turntable in Black
Audio-Technica expands its acclaimed direct-drive turntable lineup with the all-new AT-LP8X, a semi-automatic turntable. Featuring a newly engineered tonearm lift, the AT-LP8X automatically raises the tonearm and stops the motor at the end of each record side, providing hassle-free listening, quality sound, and practical features that will leave you wondering how you managed without them!
Inspired by classic Audio-Technica models of the 1960s and ’70s, the AT-LP8X turntable’s J-shaped aluminium tonearm is fully equipped with a newly designed AT-LT10 headshell and AT-VM95E BK (black) cartridge with a 0.3 x 0.7 mil elliptical stylus, providing excellent channel separation and low distortion for outstanding tonal quality.
For easy customisation, the stylus can be replaced or interchanged with any of the five additional styli in the VM95 line, and the tonearm’s VTA (vertical tracking angle) adjustment and subcounterweight enable the use of a broad range of other cartridges.
The AT-LP8X plays 33-1/3, 45, and 78 RPM records. Its 25 mm rubber-damped, anti-resonance, die-cast aluminium platter comes with a 2.5 mm rubber mat and is driven by a sensor-monitored motor that ensures a continuously accurate platter rotation speed. The motor and its efficient internal switching power supply are housed within a box plinth constructed of 16 mm MDF (medium-density fibreboard) and equipped with height-adjustable feet for excellent protection against unwanted noise and vibration.
The turntable comes with a detachable RCA output cable (dual RCA male to dual RCA male with ground), a 45 RPM adapter, and a removable hinged dust cover.
Convenient Listening with Semi-Automatic Operation
The AT-LP8X’s tonearm lifts automatically at the end of a record, and its motor automatically stops—rare features on a direct-drive turntable. This gives you the freedom to listen casually and not worry about when a record will end.
Refine Your Sound with Interchangeable Styli
The turntable’s AT-VM95E cartridge is compatible with any Audio-Technica VM95 Series replacement stylus, making it easy to experiment with different styli profiles, upgrade to a higher-quality stylus to enjoy more refined sound, or switch to an AT-VMN95SP stylus to play 78 RPM records.
Quiet Performance with Anti-Resonance Materials
The turntable’s robust MDF box plinth, adjustable feet, thick rubber-damped anti-resonance die-cast aluminium platter, and 2.5 mm rubber mat work together to temper unwanted noise and vibration so you can enjoy all the detail of your music.

- Semi-automatic direct-drive turntable with three speeds: 33-1/3, 45, 78 RPM
