Whether you're setting up a turntable, connecting to your TV, or streaming from a computer, you'll find everything you need to experience the rich, immersive performance Coda W was designed to deliver.

 

Unbox & Connect

Unbox your Coda W and connect it effortlessly to your favourite devices. Experience how easy it is to enjoy rich, immersive sound in no time.

Everything in its right place
Before you start setting up, our Vice President of Technology Research & Development, Dr Jack Oclee-Brown, has two tips to share:

  1. Remember that sound has spatial qualities. It creates a virtual stage, so be sure to place your speakers somewhere unobstructed.
  2. Keep it in front of you, roughly at ear level. When it comes to sound, first impressions really do count.

 

01. Unbox your Coda W Speaker

Start unboxing your Coda W by carefully opening the packaging. Included in your Coda W packaging, you will find:

02. How to Position Your Coda W Speaker

For optimal performance, position your speakers 1 to 3 metres apart. This will enhance your listening experience and allow the sound to fully resonate.
