FAQ — C 3050
What is the difference between the standard C 3050 and the BluOS-D version?
The standard NAD C 3050 Stereo Integrated Amplifier features full analog and digital inputs (including HDMI eARC and MM phono).

Can I add the BluOS-D module later if I buy the standard model now?
Yes. The rear panel features NAD's future-proof MDC2 expansion slot, allowing you to easily purchase and install the MDC2 BluOS-D module at a later date.
Does the HDMI eARC port allow me to control volume with my TV remote?
Yes, the HDMI eARC input supports CEC protocols, letting your TV remote adjust system volume and automatically power the amplifier on and off.
Does the C 3050 support powered subwoofers?
Yes. It includes a mono subwoofer output alongside pre-out/main-in RCA jacks for flexible system building or connecting active subwoofers.
