The NAD C 3050 Stereo Integrated Amplifier combines the vintage-inspired design of the brand's 1970s-era 3030 with the latest modern audio technologies. The C 3050 includes NAD’s latest Modular Design Construction platform - MDC2, so your system is easily customisable and ready for feature and technology upgrades.

True to the brand's values, the C 3050 delivers exceptional performance, leading-edge innovation, simplicity, and long-term value. In addition to the C 3050's dark grey finish and cursive-styled branding, its retro appeal extends to its dual VU meters, a walnut-finished vinyl-clad metal case, and the use of physical buttons for input controls.  

At the heart of the C 3050 is NAD’s proven HybridDigital UcD amplifier design delivering 100 watts per channel continuously and 135 watts instantaneously to allow for short-term musical transients. The digital section is built around a Texas Instruments’ PCM5242 high-resolution differential DAC, a design known for its excellent dynamic performance and immunity to clock jitter. This high performance DAC enables the C 3050 to reproduce all your digital sources with amazing musicality, stunning clarity, and precise soundstaging.  

With its full suite of digital and analogue inputs, including an ultra-low-noise phono stage, dedicated headphone amp, and HDMI eARC interface, the C 3050 can accommodate all your source components. Connections include optical and coax digital inputs, line input, subwoofer output, 12V trigger, IR input, and a pre-out/main-in connection enabling you to use the C 3050 as a standalone preamp, or to add more power.
