Just got the usb-c adapter to use with my ipad air 4. The adapter works well for any device, except my Yeti microphone. It just won’t recognize the mic, even if it appears that many user are having a successful recording with the same setup.
Also, my mic is working fine with the same adapter on my macbook pro 🤔

Hello DomJack73,
We understand you are using a USB-C adapter with your fourth-generation iPad Air and MacBook Pro to connect your Blue Microphone. We also understand you are able to use the microphone with your MacBook Pro, but it isn't recognized when you try to use it with your iPad Air.
Since the USB-C adapter works with both devices, we looked at Blue's website to see what we could find. Per their article on what to do if the LED on the microphone won't turn on, they do recommend using a 1 to 1 adapter. It is also noted that mobile and tablet adapters may not provide enough power or recognition for Blue Microphones. Check out their link for details, here: My Blue USB mic won't turn on
We also reviewed the Technical Specifications and System Requirements, which does not list the fourth-generation iPad Air. You can see which devices are compatible in the 'System Requirements' section of this link: Blue Specifications
If you have any other accessories you're unable to use with an Apple device, please see the steps in this link: If you see an 'Accessory may not be supported' alert
Best regards.

Hey Dominique!
We're glad to hear you were able to work with Blue regarding your microphone. We understand the LED is on, and that Blue indicates the microphone is getting enough power when the LED is on. Did you have a chance to confirm that the USB-C adapter provides enough power to allow the microphone to be recognized when connected? We want to be sure since their article on what to do if My Blue USB mic won't turn on indicates you should use a 1 to 1 adapter.
In regards to the listed Technical Specifications and System Requirements for your Blue microphone, we'd recommend working with Blue directly to confirm compatibility, and if needed, ask about updating the information provided.
We can tell you that not all third-party accessories are compatible with all Apple devices and adapters. If you've had a chance to go through the steps on what to do if you see an 'Accessory may not be supported' alert and the microphone still isn't recognized when using the USB-C adapter with your fourth-generation iPad Air, we'd recommend confirming the microphone is compatible.
If it is compatible with the fourth-generation iPad Air running the latest version of iPadOS, we'd recommend trying a different adapter.
We hope this helps.
Hello !
The light is ON, and BLUE says that power is sufficient when light is ON.
Also, since there is no firmware inside the mic, i guess the list of compatibility should eventually be updates with the latest ipad available. Its not possible to update the mic...
So i would ask, is it a problem that other users having ?
Thanks for for your fast answer.
Best regards,
Dominique
