Kanto Belt-Drive Turntable With Bluetooth & Phono Preamp Built-In

Kanto OBI3 Turntable with Wireless Bluetooth Connectivity and Built-In Phono Pre

Overview

Kanto OBI3 is a belt-drive turntable designed to make vinyl playback approachable, enjoyable, and easy to integrate into modern listening environments. Built for simplicity without sacrificing core performance, the Kanto OBI3 record player brings together a stable mechanical design, a pre-installed cartridge, and flexible output options in a compact, contemporary form. The belt-drive motor system supports both 33⅓ and 45 RPM operation, providing smooth rotation for albums and singles alike. A weighted aluminium platter and engineered wood plinth help minimise unwanted vibration, giving records a clean, consistent platform for playback.

The tonearm system on the Kanto Audio OBI3 turntable is designed for reliability and ease of use. Its aluminium J-shaped tonearm comes fitted with an Audio-Technica AT3600L moving-magnet cartridge, carefully aligned at the factory for proper tracking and tonal balance. The fixed tracking force and internal anti-skate geometry ensure stable performance across a wide range of records. While the record player's cartridge itself is fixed to maintain correct geometry, listeners can upgrade the stylus assembly from the supplied conical design to an elliptical profile for improved detail, cleaner inner-groove reproduction, and greater musical refinement. This provides a meaningful performance improvement without adjusting the tonearm or modifying the cartridge mount.

The Kanto OBI3 turntable offers both wired and wireless playback options, making it adaptable for a variety of systems. The built-in phono preamp allows direct connection to powered speakers, receivers, and amplifiers regardless of whether they include a phono stage. For traditional setups, the phono/line switch and ground terminal support clean, noise-free analogue output. Wireless listeners can take advantage of Bluetooth 5.3, which streams vinyl playback to compatible speakers and headphones throughout the room. This flexibility makes the Kanto OBI3 suitable for small apartments, offices, living spaces, and mixed-use media setups.

Everyday usability is enhanced through thoughtful design features of the Kanto turntable. Auto stop prevents unnecessary stylus wear by stopping the platter at the end of a record side. Pitch control allows fine adjustment of playback speed, offering a level of tonal and temporal tuning seldom seen at this class. The dust cover protects the tonearm and platter between listening sessions, and the compact footprint ensures the turntable fits comfortably on shelves, sideboards, and media furniture. With three matte colour options — Black, White, and Green — OBI3 blends naturally with a wide range of interiors.

For listeners entering the world of vinyl or seeking a simple, modern turntable with reliable performance, the Kanto OBI3 offers a balanced combination of analogue charm and practical features. It delivers consistent playback, flexible connection options, and a clear upgrade path through stylus improvements, all in a thoughtfully designed package that suits contemporary living.
