Adder AV4PRO-VGA-Dual Review
Adder AV4PRO-VGA-Dual 4-port dual-head VGA KVM switch USB audio
Keeps dual-monitor VGA trading floors and legacy workstations alive, switching four dual-head VGA systems to one pair of monitors, keyboard, mouse and speakers with a single button press.
Dual-Head VGA That Still Matters
Plenty of finance, industrial control and older lab workstations remain VGA and dual-head. The AV4PRO-VGA-Dual keeps them productive by consolidating four such systems onto one operator console without a resolution or refresh compromise up to 1920x1200 per head.
Comparison to Alternatives
It's the VGA counterpart to Adder's AV4PRO-DVI-DUAL, same 4-port, dual-head, audio-equipped design, just built for analog VGA fleets instead of digital DVI. Against Adder's already-cataloged AV4PRO-DP, the VGA-Dual model is the right choice specifically when the fleet hasn't moved past VGA.
Our verdict
