A DEEPER DIVE
Inside the OBI3.
The Obi3 (2nd Gen) is a belt-drive turntable from Kanto, the Canadian audio company. Kanto pairs a weighted aluminium platter with a sensor that keeps the speed steady, adds ±10% pitch control, and fits an adjustable J-shaped tonearm with an Audio-Technica AT3600L cartridge. You can listen two ways: through the RCA output, with a selectable phono preamp, or over Bluetooth 5.3.
Steady speed, with pitch control
A built-in sensor continuously monitors the platter’s rotation for stable playback, Kanto explains. It plays at 33⅓ and 45 RPM, chosen with a knob on the plinth, and a second knob gives ±10% pitch control to adjust tempo and tone. Kanto quotes wow and flutter below 0.15% WRMS (DIN weighted). The cue is a manual lever, with cue-activated start and auto-stop.
Wired or wireless
The RCA output has a selectable phono preamp. Switched on, the Obi3 connects straight to powered speakers or to an amplifier’s line input; switched off, it goes to an amplifier with its own phono stage. A ground cable is in the box. With Bluetooth 5.3, the Obi3 sends music to Bluetooth speakers or headphones.
A stable foundation
Kanto builds the plinth from engineered wood and fits a weighted aluminium platter. It says the substantial plinth and the platter create a stable foundation that helps reduce unwanted vibration during playback. The feet are fixed, not adjustable. A clear dust cover and a felt slip mat are included.
Tonearm and cartridge
The J-shaped aluminium tonearm has an adjustable counterweight and an adjustable anti-skate control. Kanto says these let you dial in the tracking force for cleaner playback and gentler contact with your records. The cartridge is an Audio-Technica AT3600L; the cartridge and stylus can be replaced, and upgraded later.
