Vintage Style, Modern Appeal (Section 1 of 4)
The C 3030’s design draws directly from NAD’s early amplifiers, using illuminated VU meters, a black faceplate, and cursive branding to create a familiar hi-fi presence. These elements help frame the experience of music
playback, encouraging a more deliberate and engaged approach. The result is an amplifier that visually reinforces the enjoyment of spending time with music as a focused, rewarding experience.

Seamless Connectivity (Section 2 of 4)
While its appearance recalls classic hi-fi, the C 3030 is built for modern listening habits. HDMI eARC allows a simple connection to a television, bringing greater clarity and weight to films, series, and live broadcasts through a stereo system. Bluetooth makes it easy to connect phones, tablets, and laptops for everyday listening, while a bass-managed subwoofer output with an optional fixed 80Hz high-pass filter supports a well-integrated 2.1 system.

Renowned NAD Sound (Section 3 of 4)
Delivering 50 watts per channel, the C 3030 continues NAD’s long-standing focus on musical, engaging amplification. Its sound is balanced and expressive, with the control needed to handle dynamic material without
strain. From intimate acoustic recordings to fuller, more energetic performances, the C 3030 presents music with warmth, clarity, and a natural sense of flow that invites longer listening sessions.

High-Fidelity Made Simple (Section 4 of 4)
As the most accessible vintage-styled amplifier in NAD’s Classic Series, the C 3030 distils the essentials of hi-fi into an approachable design. Clean amplification, modern connectivity, and familiar controls work together to make music easy to enjoy without distraction. Whether it serves as the foundation of a first system or a straightforward upgrade within an existing setup, the C 3030 encourages a deeper connection to music through
thoughtful design and uncomplicated operation.
