Introducing Orbit Arm 3

Designed to make audiophile-grade playback more accessible than ever. One-piece armtube for exceptionally low resonance. Molded in the USA from magnesium, a strong yet lightweight material with superior vibration damping properties. Precision gimbal bearing design allows the stylus to move freely — eliminating distortion and capturing more musical detail. Adjustable stainless steel counterweight and internal anti-skate. Ready to play out of the box with pre-installed cartridge.

• Magnesium armtube: One-piece tapered design for low resonance.
• Ortofon 2M Red Cartridge: Open and dynamic playback with high level of sonic accuracy. Elliptical diamond stylus.
• Cue Lever: Installed for easy tonearm operation.

Advanced electronic speed control

Change speeds with the turn of a knob. Our advanced motor controller ensures pinpoint speed accuracy by using a sine wave generator that monitors and adjusts speed thousands of times per second. Orbit's signature belt drive and rubber motor suspension prevent unwanted vibrations from reaching the platter.

• Seamless silicone belt: All-new design for improved durability and performance.
• Electronic speed control: Easy speed change with advanced motor performance.

Precision machined acrylic platter

U-Turn's frosted acrylic platter delivers enhanced speed consistency and lower resonance. Each platter is precision machined for flatness and virtually zero runout. Acrylic is remarkably effective at minimizing unwanted vibrations thanks to its high density and low stiffness. Grooved for easy belt installation and use. Inverted main bearing with self-lubricating polymer bushings for maintenance-free performance.

• Acrylic Platter: Improved speed consistency and lower resonance.
• Inverted main bearing: Stable, low-noise, and maintenance-free.
