In the C 3050 Stereophonic Amplifier, NAD’s 50-year history of innovation meets the future of hi-fi. With its dual VU meters, push-button input selectors, walnut-finished vinyl-clad cabinet, and 1970s cursive-style branding, the C 3050 recalls the components that helped a generation of music-lovers discover the joys of great audio. With its 100-watt-per-channel HybridDigital UcD amplifier and Texas Instruments high-resolution differential DAC, the C 3050 delivers sound that will thrill today’s discerning listeners. And thanks to NAD’s MDC2 future-proofing technology, C 3050 owners can add leading-edge capabilities like BluOS high-resolution multi-room streaming and Dirac Live room correction. *The NAD C 3050 is available with BluOS @ $2,399.00 and without @ $1 899.00* Specifications: LINE INPUT, PRE-OUT THD (20 Hz – 20 kHz) 95 dB (IHF; A-weighted, ref. 500 mV out, unity gain) Channel separation >100 dB (1 kHz) >90 dB (10 kHz) Input impedance (R and C) 28 kohms + 360 pF Maximum input signal >4.5 Vrms (ref. 0.1 % THD) Output impedance 440 ohms Input sensitivity 270 mV (ref. 500 mV out, Volume maximum) Frequency response ±0.3 dB (20 Hz – 20 kHz) Maximum voltage output -IHF load >2 V (ref. 0.1 % THD) PHONO INPUT, PRE-OUT THD (20 Hz – 20 kHz) 79 dB (200 ohms source; A-weighted, ref. 500 mV out) Input Impedance (R and C) 46 kohms/100 pF Input sensitivity 5.5 mV (ref. 500 mV out, Volume maximum) Frequency response ±0.3 dB (20 Hz – 20 kHz) Maximum input signal at 1kHz >80 mVrms (ref. 0.1 % THD) LINE INPUT, HEADPHONE OUT THD (20 Hz – 20 kHz) 96 dB (32 ohms loads; A-WTD, ref. 2 V out, unity gain Frequency response ±0.3 dB (20 Hz – 20 kHz) Channel separation >60 dB at 1kHz Output impedance Output impedance MAIN IN, SPEAKER OUT Continuous output power into 8 ohms and 4 ohms 100W (ref. 20 Hz-20 kHz at rated THD, both channels driven) THD (20 Hz – 20 kHz) 95dB (A-weighted, 500 mV input, ref. 1 W out in 8 ohms) Clipping power >115 W (at 1 kHz 0.1 % THD) IHF dynamic power 8 ohms: 180 W 4 ohms: 250W 2 ohms: 300 W Peak output current >20A (in 1 ohm, 1 ms) Frequency response ±0.3 dB (20 Hz – 20 kHz) Channel separation >75dB (1 kHz) >70dB (10 kHz) Input sensitivity (for 100 W in 8 ohms) 540 mV Digital: -6dBFS
