Guitar/mic interfaces with wired headphones for iPad Pro 3rd generation (USB C connector)

I've been looking at current digital audio interface boxes to connect guitars and mics to the 2018 released iPad Pros with a USB C connector, and with a headphone jack so you can listen with wired headphones/externally powered speakers (or monitors).

I have found a couple of "soon to be released" products, such as Audient's EVO 4 and EVO 8, and IK Multimedia's iRig Pro Duo I/O, just to name a couple at the lower-cost end of the market, which *may* have iPad Pro 3rd generation support. I have not seen any release dates for these, and I've reached out to the companies to confirm whether they'll support the top end of the iPad lineup. I'll update this post once I've heard back.

I'd like to hear whether anyone else has discovered a product (as of mid-Feb 2020) which connects a guitar and/or mic to the current iPad Pros with a USB C connector, while also providing a 3.5mm or 1/4" wired headphone jack.

Thanks

iPad Pro 11-inch Wi-Fi, Cellular

Here is my promised update on iPad Pro 3rd generation (i.e. USB C) connectivity for the Audient EVO 4 (and EVO 8) and the IK Multimedia iRig Pro Duo I/O. These are the responses from the respective companies' customer service people (who were very fast and helpful, btw):

EVO 4 and 8

Question 1): Please confirm that the EVO 4 (and 8) will work with the 2018 released iPad Pro with USB C

Response: EVO 4 is compatible with iPad Pro 2018 however some functions such as loopback won't be controllable. EVO 8 does not support use with iPad Pro.

Question 2): When do you expect to start shipping the EVO 4 and 8 in the US?

Response: EVO 4 has been released and is currently beginning to be shipped out so should be in stored in the next few weeks. EVO 8 is due to be released in the next quarter.

iRig Pro Duo I/O

Question 1): Will the iRig Pro Duo I/O work with the iPad Pro 3rd generation (USB C)?

Response: Yes, it will work with USB-C iOS related devices as well.

Question 2): When do you expect it to ship (in the US)?

Response: The iRig Pro DUO I/O is expected to ship sometime in the sprint. [sic]

I don’t understand what you mean by your post, “opposition”. Please expand your thought.
