Product Description
The NAD C3050 is a multi-award winning integrated amplifier that celebrates the company's rich and successful history, while also looking forward to the technologies that will shape home audio for many years to come. As a tribute to NAD's 50th anniversary, the C3050 looks right at home in either a modern or vintage-styled rig. The brushed aluminum front faceplate with "old fashioned" style knobs and buttons hide a plethora of hi-tech goodies behind them.
Featuring a generous 100 watts per channel of solid state power, using NAD’s patented UcD “PowerDrive” Class-D output modules, this amp will power any speaker and bring out richness and detail like few others can. And the dual VU meters give a lovely visual presentation to accompany the smooth and rich sound that this little amplifier can provide.
The C3050 also includes an on-board TI PCM5242 24/192 DAC for digital signals including bi-directional APT-X HD 5.0 Bluetooth communication. In addition to Bluetooth, five physical digital connection points are provided: coaxial, optical/TOSLINK, and HDMI. And on top of that, the C3050 is equipped with an MDC2 expansion card which allows for the BluOS/Bluesound hi-res streaming functionality to be loaded directly onto the amp.
For analog lovers, the C3050 features NAD's well-loved MM phono stage for vinyl playback, and a line-level input as well. A subwoofer output with selectable crossover frequency and "Main-in/Pre-out" pass-thru allows the unit to be used as a powerful preamp with external amplifiers and/or processors as well. Finally, the ultra stable amp section outputs to two sets of selectable speakers (A, B, or A+B) just like the old days.
