Help with audio setup

[mac30001]

Hey all! Ive been working on my setup for a while now and I feel its mostly done, my one issue, however, is that I've neglected audio, I have a TON of headphones but want to get some decent studio monitors for audio editing and general listening.

 

In a perfect world, I want a setup that just works... this probably sounds stupid but I always find myself going into windows audio settings to switch the output so I can get the audio to come through, im here to ask if anyone has suggestions how to make my below plan work, if I need to change anything etc

 

My plan:

 

I plan to have 2 JBL LSR305 Studio Monitor's as my speakers for my setup, I want them to output my audio from my PC, then also my audio from my Macbook Pro 15" (USB C) but only when I chose to plug it in, I would be cool to have it output the audio of my PS4 also and ideally id love to hook up an amazon echo dot to them so I can use the voice commands but have better speakers. My issue is, if I were to buy the speakers, how the heck can I get all that setup?  The speaker inputs are 1/4" TRS (Balanced), XLR (Balanced), If I want to connect my ps4 id probably need to use an optical cable, then I can use either an optical cable, USB or 3mm jack from my PC, usb c from my macbook (or through some dongle adaptor another input) and then a 3mm output from my echo dot... I have a blue yeti but I can just have that USB straight to my PC, no issues there,

 

Ive look at audio interfaces but havent got a clue how to find one that can do all of the above at preferably a price below £100 and not take up my entire desk, it would be cool to have one that I can DI a guitar into but I could probably live without that.

 

Hopefully, someone here has a similar setup going and can lead me in the right direction, I have a feeling its going to endup being a bit of a mess of dongles and adaptors but I can live with that as long as I can tuck them out of the way. 

 

If anyone can make sense of all that it would be appreciated

 

Thanks

Anyone?

It sounds like you will need a mixer,  I don't think there is a way around it.  Are your monitors active or passive?

Hey, sorry didn't see your reply, they're active monitors,

 

A mixer looks like the sorta think I need rather than the audio interfaces I was looking at before, would you have any suggestions for a decent under £100 mixer?
