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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSteady speed, with pitch control\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWired or wireless\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA stable foundation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKanto 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTonearm and cartridge\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDrive\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBelt, with speed sensor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpeeds\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e33⅓ and 45 RPM\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePitch control\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e±10% (knob)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWow and flutter\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u0026lt;0.15% WRMS (DIN weighted)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eManual lever, cue-activated start and auto-stop\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTonearm\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eJ-shaped aluminium; adjustable counterweight and anti-skate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCartridge\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAudio-Technica AT3600L (replaceable)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePlatter\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeighted aluminium\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePlinth\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eEngineered wood; non-adjustable feet\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eOutputs\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRCA with selectable phono preamp; Bluetooth 5.3\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePower\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eExternal power adapter (included)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSize (W × D × H)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e432 × 363 × 124 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5.5 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFinishes\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMatte black, matte forest green, matte ice blue, matte white, walnut\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGood to know\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFive finishes: pick yours in the options above.
