NAD C3030 : Integrated Amplifier
The NAD C 3030 brings together retro charm and modern performance in a compact integrated amplifier. Inspired by NAD’s original 3030, it features classic VU meters and a cursive NAD logo. At the same time, its clean lines and modest size make it a natural fit for today’s living spaces.
Vintage style, timeless appeal
At first glance, the C 3030 recalls NAD’s early Hi-Fi designs. The black faceplate, warm VU meters, and iconic logo give it a strong visual identity. However, this is not nostalgia alone. These details connect the amplifier to NAD’s long history, while still feeling fresh and relevant today.
Designed for modern living
While its look is classic, the C 3030 is clearly built for modern use. Thanks to HDMI eARC, it connects easily to your TV for better sound with films and series. In addition, Bluetooth allows quick wireless streaming from phones, tablets, and laptops, making everyday listening simple and flexible.
Flexible system integration
The C 3030 fits smoothly into a wide range of setups. A bass-managed subwoofer output, with an optional 80 Hz low-pass filter, makes building a balanced 2.1 system easy. As a result, you can enjoy fuller bass without losing control or clarity.
Clean and confident NAD sound
Delivering 50 watts per channel, the C 3030 offers the clear and dynamic sound NAD is known for. It drives both bookshelf and floorstanding speakers with ease. Therefore, music sounds open, controlled, and engaging, even at higher listening levels.
High-fidelity made accessible
As the most affordable vintage-styled amplifier in NAD’s Classic Series, the C 3030 lowers the barrier to true Hi-Fi. It focuses on what matters most: solid amplification, useful connections, and thoughtful design. Consequently, it suits both first-time buyers and experienced listeners alike.
Compact, yet full of character
Thanks to its compact footprint, the C 3030 fits neatly on shelves, media units, or dedicated Hi-Fi racks. Its understated finish blends easily into different interiors, while its vintage touches give it personality. In short, it is designed to sound great, look great, and live comfortably in modern homes.
