The turntable is equipped with a passionic drive and combines minimalist aesthetics and affordable price. According to the manufacturer, the passionic drive of the Kanto Obi3 turntable provides "accurate, vibration-free reproduction." The novelty comes with an Audio-Technica AT3600L MM cartridge pre-installed at the factory, providing, as Kanto describes it, "a smooth, balanced sound that pays tribute to the analog legacy of vinyl, while maintaining the convenience of modern listening."
