Sound card with lightning —-> iPad with type-c.
Hi all! I've got a sound card with lightning. And earPods lightning headphones. I used to connect them to my old iPad with lightning. Now I have an iPad with type-c. Maybe someone has encountered a similar situation? How can I connect it all to the new iPad. Maybe there are ready-made solutions? Any particular adapter that will surely help? I will be grateful for any useful advice.

Hey @novich. I am pretty sure there are adapter suited for your needs. What comes to mind is a dual (female) lightning to usb connected to a (male) adapter. Hopefully, that will work. If not, I’m am more than certain that more knowledgeable members will be able to help.
@dogonBeats Yes there are many such adapters out there, but most of them don't even fit headphones, let alone a sound card. That's why I'm asking here. Maybe someone can suggest a specific model of adapter that fits. Apogee one sound card.
Hi, @novich.
Note: I’m interested in the hardware compatibility topic, but I’ve never used ‘Anker USB-C to Lightning Audio Adapter’, ‘Apogee One’, and ‘2M MINI-B to USB-C for ONE, Duet and Quartet’ described below. So I apologize if I’ve written incorrect information below.

Brief description:
-There is a ‘USB-C[male] to Lightning[female] adapter(cable?)’ for Lightning Earpods. For example, the Anker's adapter described below.
-Apogee One seems to work with USB-C iPad only for output. And input does not seem to work.
-The aforementioned Anker adapter does not seem to work for the Apogee One’s output. But I’m not sure.
-You may want to ask Apogee about a specific way to make the Apogee One’s output work.

Detailed description:
This Anker adapter (cable?) appears to be compatible with the Lightning Earpods.

On the other hand, the same Anker adapter doesn’t work with the Apogee One and USB-C iPad.

According to the linked "knowledge.apogeedigital.com" webpage above, inputs of Apogee One are disabled but only outputs might function to some extent with a ‘USB-C iPad’.
(Does this mean there is a product or combination of products for ‘Apogee One and USB-C iPad’ that would work if only for output? I have no idea about it. So, you may want to ask Apogee about a specific way to make the output work.)

And after reading the following linked webpages, I guess that maybe there is no product/method/way available at this time that can make the Apogee One fully functional(?) with a ‘USB-C iPad’.
The below macrumors thread has 2 pages.

Side note 1:
I guess that if you have a ‘USB hub’ for a ‘USB-C iPad’, you may have already tested/tried it with the ‘Apogee One’. Because this combination of the three products probably does not require any special conversion(?) adapters and does not require a purchase of any cables or other equipment. (Having that said, I have no idea if the combination will work or not.)
Side-side-note 1: Again. Output only. Cannot be used for input.
Side-side-note 2: On second thought, the following two products may be needed in addition to the above three products for the compatibility test.
-‘mini USB-B to USB-A cable’ (Bundled with Apogee One? I’m not sure.)
-‘USB-C cable’ (a part of a USB hub or an independent cable?)
*
Side note 2:
‘2M MINI-B to USB-C for ONE, Duet and Quartet’ cable product by Apogee might be used for the same purpose (Note: Again. Output only. Cannot be used for input.) on the Apogee One and a ‘USB-C iPad’, but I have no idea about it. If you ask Apogee, they may be able to tell you about it.
(It is not my intention to recommend this ‘2M MINI-B to USB-C’ cable to you. Nor do I intend to recommend a new audio interface for a USB-C iPad. I’m just interested in the hardware compatibility topic.)
You may find this enlightening but depressing…

@cramdog @BiancaNewe Thank you! All functions are already working. Including recording through a microphone with phantom power. In the kit I bought a cord with a regular USB for connecting to a computer. Through it I connected it to the iPad via a simple type c - usb adapter. Everything works great. Thank you for participating in my problem!
