All iPads Can I connect these things to the iPad using a multiport adapter and use them at the same time?

Hi everyone!
My wife is thinking about buying an iPad 10th generation or the new iPad Mini for work, they will be a great improvement for her, but she's worried about connections, since iPad has only a single USB-C port and she needs to connect and use at the same time:
- A USB keyboard (or a USB microphone)
- A speaker connected with a jack
- Sometimes the charging cable to charge the iPad while using the two things above
So she was thinking about to buy one of those multiport adapters that has all the ports she needs.

Do you know if everything is going to work properly at the same time if connected with an adapter or there's going to be some problem since the microphone, the speaker and the charging cable are all going to be connected to the same single USB-C port at the same time?

Thanks for your help and sorry for my bad English, I hope you can understand my question anyway.

No problem. As long as you choose an appropriate dock or adapter, it can connect multiple devices.

Thanks a lot for your answer! So, just to be sure. Supposing that I buy the right adapter and I connect all the cables, I can sing in the microphone in the exact same moment I'm listening to the speaker and charging the iPad with no lagging or delay due to the fact that all these things are going to the same single usb-c port right? All connected devices will work together with no "temporarily interruptions"?

Yes. No problem.

Maybe if you were transferring large files to a SSD it would slow down other devices because the bandwidth is limited. Audio is not bandwidth intensive. Charging uses no bandwidth.

Thanks a lot! Your answer is precious. I guess I can tell Santa he can buy that iPad now!

Also, I believe the iPad 10th gen still uses USB2 so that's max 40 MB/s realistically shared among all devices connected to the hub.

If the budget allows it, I would really recommend the Air 5 (M1/8GB). Should last longer than the 10th gen.
