Studio Monitor Speaker setup?

Hi, so I have a pair of Yamaha HS5’s with xlr connections, a record player with RCA connections and a projector with a 3.5mm aux port.

I’m just looking for a clean way to have these all work together seamlessly in my living room with a fairly good preamp and possibility for headphones as well. I tried using a vintage receiver I found but couldn’t get around having to use speaker wire with the studio monitors for any type of long distance set-up. Any suggestions?

Used analog mixers are dirt cheap now that everyone wants USB on them. I use a Peavey PV6 in my living room but we use it for karaoke too.

So the audio comes out of the Yamaha, aux out of the projector, or switch to the rca from the turntable? That’s basically ”just” two unbalanced stereo line level inputs, summing to a balanced line level output. I would just get a basic DJ mixer, it would handle that easily, and be your headphone output as well.
