Anyone recommend a decent usb hub to use with iPad. I will be using it with Steinberg ur22c audio interface and korg nanokontrol.

I looked on amazon and came up with this one


But then I saw on the teenage engineering site they recommend this one

I started reading about problems with different ones regarding speeds etc so don’t want to make a mistake.

Also does it definitely need to be powered if my audio interface has power option

Thanks

I have 2 of these, very happy with them:

The first one I got 3 years ago, never had problems.

Anker has never let me down. I’ve had a hub of theirs for many years and it’s still my go-to

I’m pretty sure the lightning port iPads are the ones that require power. USB-C should be able to supply without. I just purchased a rshtech 7 port last week, and so far I haven’t had any issues. I use it on a Mac and it works fine with or without the power cable.

Ok thanks, mine is iPad Air 2 so yeah it’s lightning, the rshtech is a good price and only 4 ports which should be sufficient for me, seems to have decent reviews :+1:
