NAD Stereo Integrated Amplifier - C 3030S
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.
