Product Overview

The NAD C 3030 is a modern HiFi amplifier designed for music lovers who appreciate classic design and honest performance. Inspired by the original NAD 3030 from the 1970s, this new model combines classic HiFi aesthetics with modern NAD engineering. Its compact chassis, black faceplate, illuminated dual VU meters, and tactile pushbuttons pay tribute to the original while offering a fresh and purposeful look that fits effortlessly into modern living spaces.

At the heart of the C 3030 is NAD’s proven HybridDigital amplifier platform, known for delivering clean, dynamic sound with minimal distortion and noise. Rated at 50 watts per channel, with over 100 watts of dynamic power when needed, it’s designed to handle real world speakers with ease and musicality, true to NAD’s tradition of delivering more than expected at the price.

The C 3030 supports a wide range of everyday sources. A dedicated MM phono input is ready for vinyl playback, HDMI eARC makes TV sound integration easy, Bluetooth with aptX HD handles wireless streaming from mobile devices, and standard analog input support components like CD players or streamers. A subwoofer output with an optional high-pass filter allows for a simple 2.1 setup.
