This article details our product compatibility with any iPad Pro that features a USB Type-C port. Please see the below for the support of your range, and please carefully read the set-up instructions and product specific setups.
The Clarett Thunderbolt range will NOT work with USB ports and is not supported with the iPad.
iTrack Range:
- The iTrack Solo/One Pre interfaces are supported for use with the USB-C iPad Pro.
- The iTrack Dock interface is NOT supported
- To connect them you will need the Apple USB C to USB adaptor.
iTrack Solo:
- For this interface, you can disregard the Device Link cable and simply connect the USB B to A cable to the Apple USB C to USB adaptor.
- The iPad Pro supplies enough power to bus power the iTrack Solo, no external power/powered USB hub is required.
iTrack One Pre:
- As there is no Lightning to USB adaptor you will need to use a micro USB to USB A cable (not included but used amongst many phones/USB peripherals) and then connect this to the Apple USB C to USB adaptor.
- The iPad Pro supplies enough power to bus power the iTrack Solo, no external power/powered USB hub is required.
iTrack Dock:
- This interface will NOT work with the iPad Pro as it is only Lightning.
- Lightning to USB-C adaptor cables are not available from Apple and we would advise against purchasing third-party cables as they are unlikely to work.
Scarlett 1st/2nd/3rd Gen Ranges:
Bus-powered Interfaces (Solo, 2i2, 2i4, 4i4):
- These interfaces are supported for use with the USB-C iPad Pro.
- To connect them you will need to connect the Scarlett either with a C to C USB cable or A to C using the Apple USB C to USB adaptor.

Mains Powered Interfaces (6i6, 18i8, 18i20):

There is no iPad version of Focusrite Control/Scarlett Mix Control so a Mac or Windows computer must be used to do this.
- Focusrite Control iOS cannot be used to control a Scarlett that is connected to your iPad, this app is a remote for the desktop version of the software.
