Sounds like you've already got a cable to make it work. I'm assuming it's one of these. You can connect really any BT receiver you want. I'd recommend looking for something with BT 5 and the codex support of your choice. I rarely use mine because wired connections still sound better, but my wife loves the connectivity.
Easy answer?
Split the RCA signal then going INTO the Valhalla. Something like this:
One of the split ends to the headphone amp, the other to the subwoofer. BEFORE THE AMP This is important.
This is the easiest, cheapest way I can think of to achieve what you want.
Again, what you're using this mixer for isn't really what it was designed for.
Harder Answer: You really should be pushing your Alto speakers via the main outs, and your headphone/sub out of the monitor outs. The headphone out is... a headphone out, but the answer above will suffice for you until you retire this system.
Ideally, you'd be using a better sound card and no mixer at all. (let your PC be the mixer). You would want something with at least 6 outputs, but the price of these have come down significantly in the last decade or so. When it's time to upgrade, take a look at what's available.
Well, it's spendy, but I always reach for one of these when we have a computer/phone/many other things to plug in to our at work: https://www.amazon.com/Radial-Engineering-R8001112-Pro-Direct/dp/B000H2D81O
It'll take an input from a stereo headphone jack (commonly known as 1/8" or 3.5mm TRS connector), stereo RCA, or a 1/4" mono (TS, or "big headphone jack," as I used to call them), sum it to mono, and spit it out at line-level. In addition, in my experience, it sounds great for a passive DI box. There are cheaper options, yes, but this one is good for when you want to plug some oddball device into your speakers without extra cables.
Now, as someone else said, if you are just plugging things right into your speakers, as long as you can get a signal from the device, you should be good. I can't imagine that someone would make a powered speaker that can put out phantom power, but I've been wrong before. However, this DI box would remove the risk of damaging your device should you ever upgrade to use a mixer that has phantom power.
Hi everyone. Thanks for the replies. In thinking more about this, I really am not so interested in saving the money. The Zoom H6 costs about $350, and the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 is about $150. That savings is great, and the volume control improvement hits the mark, but there are other downgrades that I might miss now from the H6, such as 4+ inputs and the on-unit input meter displays. All just to not have the crappy headphone output controls. Due to this I think I'm leaning towards another solution: a headphone amplifier, like thishttps://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000KIPT30/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
