Toms River, NJ — The Ocean County Vocational Technical School’s (OCVTS) Grunin Performing Arts Academy Audio Engineering Program, through its newly established industry partnership with KEF Audio, a world leader in high-fidelity sound innovation, marks the start of a dynamic collaboration to enhance student learning through immersive audio technology and hands-on professional experience.

On October 16, David Kroll, Vice President of KEF America, visited OCVTS to host the first workshop in the series, focusing on ATMOS Speaker Setup and Dolby Atmos sound design. Students participated in a hands-on session that introduced them to immersive audio concepts, including Pro Logic hearing, speaker positioning, installation, channel placement, and speaker test toning—skills directly tied to careers in the evolving audio, video, and film industries. They also assisted in installing two new Atmos-enabled audio mixing suites within OCVTS’s state-of-the-art, multi-studio recording facility.
The partnership underscores OCVTS’s ongoing commitment to developing strong industry connections that enrich career and technical education. KEF Audio has generously donated over $33,000 worth of KEF Atmos equipment, upgrading OCVTS’s facilities to provide students with access to cutting-edge technologies used in professional sound for video, film, television, and spatial audio production.

In addition, KEF has established a $13,500 Education Scholarship Fund for OCVTS Audio Engineering students over three academic years. These project-based scholarships will recognize excellence in Immersive Audio and Atmos Soundtrack (Audio + Video) projects, directly supporting the district’s mission to prepare students for continued education and success in rapidly evolving audio technology industry.

This partnership also creates pathways for internships, mentorships, and potential career opportunities with KEF, its industry partners, and across the broader music, film, and media production landscape. Students from Full-Time, Shared-Time, and Adult Education Audio Programs, as well as participants in the Film Club and Tech Club, will benefit from the expanded opportunities and resources this collaboration brings.

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.
