With BluOS built in, the C 3030S is centred around modern music listening. The BluOS Controller app makes it easy to explore streaming services, access local libraries, and control playback with confidence. BluOS also enables multi-room listening with other compatible components, allowing music to move easily between rooms when desired.
Delivering 50 watts per channel, the C 3030S reflects NAD’s long-standing approach to sound that values warmth, clarity, and balance. Music comes through with an easy, natural character that encourages longer listening sessions without fatigue. Whether streaming, playing records, or watching TV, the sound remains unmistakably NAD.
The C 3030S fits naturally into the way people listen at home. HDMI eARC offers a simple connection to a television, while the built-in phono input makes vinyl playback easy to enjoy. A dedicated subwoofer output with an optional 80 Hz high-pass filter allows smaller main speakers to be paired with a subwoofer, delivering fuller, deeper bass without the need for large floorstanding speakers. Together with flexible analogue and digital inputs, the C 3030S supports relaxed, satisfying listening in real-world spaces.
