A: AnswerIt will work if you have a USB-C to Digital AV Adapter. I have added link to this adapter as recommended product with the answer. Reason why direct USB C to C or other adapters wont work is because they wont be able to provide enough current for Mic to function. However that adapter allows you to draw power from iPad to charge other devices as well, so when you connect this mic with the mentioned adapter iPad will be able to power the mic and use it. There is no wave link software for iPad to do any software side changes though. However, Wave:3 has a knob to change gain and control other stuffs etc unlike Wave:1 so you should be fine without any software feature.Answered by Suyash
- A: AnswerThis USB mic was designed to compete with microphones like the Shure sm7b, AT2020, etc. It's a USB mic that comes with a powerful, versatile software, and ultimately cuts out the need of any additional audio mixing hardware/software. So the Behringer and the GoXLR boards are no long necessary with the Elgato 1 & 3 microphones.
