NAD C 3030S - Stereo Integrated Amplifier

C 3030S STEREO INTEGRATED AMPLIFIER The NAD C 3030S Integrated Amplifier combines vintage-inspired design with the power of BluOS streaming. Signature details such as illuminated VU meters and cursive NAD branding reference NAD’s early amplifiers, whilst BluOS built in enables seamless access to music through the BluOS Controller app. With 50 watts per channel of NAD amplification, the C 3030S delivers clear, composed sound across a wide range of listening levels. HDMI eARC and a built-in phono input allow it to integrate naturally into modern music and TV-based systems. KEY FEATURES BluOS built-in streaming for access to music services and multi-room playback via the BluOS Controller app 50 watts per channel of NAD amplification Vintage-inspired design with VU meters and cursive NAD branding HDMI eARC input for straightforward TV integration Moving Magnet phono input for vinyl playback Bluetooth for wireless music playback Optical and line-level analogue inputs for additional sources Bass-managed subwoofer output with optional fixed 80 Hz high-pass filter Front-panel headphone output for private listening Supplied remote control for everyday operation PRODUCT STORY A Design That Invites Listening The C 3030S takes inspiration from NAD’s early amplifiers, using VU meters, a black faceplate, and cursive branding to create a look that feels familiar and reassuring. For the listener, these details help set the mood and encourage a slower, more attentive approach to enjoying music. It supports the way people want to engage with their system, not just how it appears in the room. BluOS Streaming at Its Core With BluOS built in, the C 3030S is centred around modern music listening. The BluOS Controller app makes it easy to explore streaming services, access local libraries, and control playback with confidence. BluOS also enables multi-room listening with other compatible components, allowing music to move easily between rooms when desired. The Sound NAD Is Known For Delivering 50 watts per channel, the C 3030S reflects NAD’s long-standing approach to sound that values warmth, clarity, and balance. Music comes through with an easy, natural character that encourages longer listening sessions without fatigue. Whether streaming, playing records, or watching TV, the sound remains unmistakably NAD. Made for Everyday Enjoyment The C 3030S fits naturally into the way people listen at home. HDMI eARC offers a simple connection to a television, while the built-in phono input makes vinyl playback easy to enjoy. A dedicated subwoofer output with an optional 80 Hz high-pass filter allows smaller main speakers to be paired with a subwoofer, delivering fuller, deeper bass without the need for large floorstanding speakers. Together with flexible analogue and digital inputs, the C 3030S supports relaxed, satisfying listening in real-world spaces.
