You get to a stage when you start taking life’s pleasures more seri-
After a major R&D programme to find new ways of improving
output and reducing distortion, they came up with a design
that incorporates a number of ingenious technical solutions
they had developed in the course of the research.
ously.You care more about the quality of the things you surround
yourself with, and the sensations you experience. But unless money’s
no object, you usually have to compromise in some way.
KEF Coda changed all that as far as sound is concerned. A real
breakthrough in acoustic design, the original range proved that you
don’t need a fat bank account to enjoy genuine audiophile sound
quality.“Little short of miraculous”, was how one rave review put it.
The new Coda range is the result. If they look different from
their famous predecessors, it’s because they are. The imaging is
even more accurate. The power handling, even more generous.
The bass, even more extended and finely controlled.
Vocals, even sweeter.
And now, the world’s first serious small speaker has evolved further
still.The originals had such a high reputation, we knew that the new
generation Codas would have to be pretty amazing performers - a
challenge no self-respecting KEF engineer could refuse.
Better value than ever, in other words. And if you seriously
want to get more out of your music and home entertainment,
that’s great news...

The smooth curves of the one-piece cast aluminium
er’s performance - an acoustic ‘shelving’ effect causes an
audible ‘lump’ somewhere around 600Hz in the mid-
frequency range. Most manufacturers accept this as
a necessary limitation of budget speakers, but KEF
engineers have succeeded in designing out this
unevenness in the new Coda range by adding an
extra filter section in the high order crossover cir-
cuit.
chassis on which the drive units are mounted hint
at the technical sophistication of what’s inside.
KEF’s large, musically voiced metal dome tweet-
er is what gives the new range its fluency in
reproducing vocals, especially with the latest digi-
tal audio and AV formats.
Bass performance is equally compelling, thanks to
new state-of-the-art long-throw drivers with cop-
per pole pieces. As a highly conductive material, the
introduction of copper caps into the magnetic circuit
increases the eddy currents induced near the surface of each
drive unit, giving a hefty boost to its acoustic output and reduc-
ing distortion by up to 20dB.You’ll
Great attention has also been paid to the structural integri-
ty of the enclosures. Engineered from ‘heavy’ MDF to
increase vibrational inertia, the cabinets are further
strengthened by a combination of internal bracing and an
ingenious tie-rod system which anchors the die-cast chassis to
the back panel of each cabinet.

Replacing one of the most highly praised speak-

70 is packed with technical refinements to
outperform even its legendary predeces-
sor.
KEF’s new 25mm (1”) aluminium dome
tweeter delivers even smoother, clearer
and more natural sounding high frequency
response. Despite the compact cabinet
size, the sophisticated new 130mm (5")
long-throw bass/midrange driver boasts
even higher output with lower distortion,
thanks to the copper pole-piece design.
And the listening experience is something
else. Spacious. Musical. Rich in texture, dense
in detail. Amazingly real. Coda 70 exemplifies
everything Coda stands for: you don’t need deep
pockets to enjoy genuine audiophile quality sound.
Every home should have one.
