Affordable Vinyl Revival: Kanto Launches First Bluetooth Turntable Obi3

Explore the new Kanto Obi3 Bluetooth turntable blending vintage vinyl charm with modern wireless convenience at an unbeatable price.

A New Era for Vinyl Lovers Begins

There’s something undeniably magical about the crackle of vinyl—warm, rich, and oh-so nostalgic. If you’ve ever wanted to dive into the world of vinyl without breaking the bank or sacrificing modern features, Kanto’s latest announcement might just be your ticket. The Canadian audio brand has just unveiled its first-ever turntable, the Kanto Obi3 Bluetooth turntable, and it’s turning heads with its shockingly low price tag and sleek design.

Obi3’s Belt-Drive System: Precision Meets Smoothness

The Obi3 features a belt-drive mechanism designed to deliver "precise, vibration-free playback," according to Kanto. This setup isn’t just about functionality; it’s about capturing that authentic analog essence vinyl fans cherish. The heart of this system is the pre-installed Audio-Technica AT3600L cartridge, known for its "soft, balanced sound that honors the analog heritage of vinyl while offering the convenience of modern listening."

For those who remember the bliss of flipping a record and settling into those grooves, this cartridge brings back that warm embrace but with a smoother, more refined touch.

Wireless Freedom with Bluetooth 5.3

Here’s where Obi3 stands out in the crowd: Bluetooth 5.3 connectivity. This means you can pair your new turntable effortlessly with wireless speakers or headphones. It’s like having the best of both worlds—a nostalgic vinyl experience combined with the freedom of modern hi-fi technology.

If you’ve tested high-end models like the Pro-Ject T1 Evo BT turntable, you know how liberating wireless sound can be. Obi3 offers that same freedom, but at a fraction of the price.

Classic Features for Traditionalists

For those who want to keep their setup classic, Obi3 doesn't disappoint. It comes with a built-in phono preamp and RCA output, making it easy to integrate into any traditional Hi-Fi system. Whether you’re a vintage vinyl lover or a modern audiophile, this turntable bridges both worlds seamlessly.

Plus, the aluminum J-shaped tonearm ensures stable, precise tracking, which is crucial for preserving your records and enjoying uninterrupted sound.

Built for Stability and Authenticity

The Obi3 doesn’t just rely on tech—it’s built to last and perform. It spins records at both 33⅓ and 45 RPM speeds, accommodating most vinyl collections. The turntable features a weighted aluminum platter and a wooden plinth base, which delivers sturdiness and stable foundations to reduce unwanted vibrations. This all adds up to an authentic and consistent sound experience every time you drop the needle.

Compact Yet Complete

Space savers, rejoice! Obi3’s compact dimensions (about 40 x 35.5 x 9.4 cm) make it simple to fit in cozy apartments, dorm rooms, or any snug listening nook. And Kanto doesn’t skimp on accessories: you’ll receive a dust cover, a slipmat, and a 45 RPM adapter to get your collection spinning right out of the box.

Design Philosophy According to Kanto

“Obi3 represents a new design language for Kanto, celebrating the tactile joy of analog sound and the simplicity of our speaker lineup. Together, they create an excellent system.”

Brett Smolley, Kanto’s marketing director

This philosophy shines through Obi3’s minimalist aesthetic and straightforward usability, making it perfect for both newcomers and seasoned vinyl enthusiasts.

Pricing and Availability

The Obi3 will be available in three stylish finishes—black, white, and green—offering a pop of personality to your audio setup. Mark your calendars for November 2025 when it hits stores with a jaw-dropping price of just $199, making it one of the most affordable Bluetooth turntables on the market.

Why Obi3 Is a Game Changer for Vinyl

In a world where vinyl resurgence meets tech innovation, Kanto’s Obi3 emerges as a beacon for budget-conscious collectors who refuse to settle. It’s not just a turntable; it’s a bridge connecting past pleasures with future conveniences.
