MTU8 + Cyclemic Headset Kit (No Receiver)
The MTU8 + Cyclemic Headset Kit is for studios that already run a Fitness Audio U-Series receiver. The MTU8 mini transmitter mounts on the Cyclemic frame, so there is no beltpack and no cable down your back. Made for spin: nothing on your waist while you ride, and no cable to catch on the handlebars.

FAQ
Do I need a receiver with this?
No. This kit is the headset and transmitter only. It pairs with the U-Series SDR-5616 receiver — the same receiver that comes with the full U-Series system and the full MTU8 system. If you already own either system, you already have the receiver.
Will this work with my existing U-Series receiver?
Yes. Each MTU8 is made for one frequency group, such as 520A or 520B, and works with a U-Series receiver in the same group. Order the group printed on your receiver label, set the MTU8 to the same channel as the receiver, and it pairs.
Can I switch between this and a beltpack on the same receiver?
Yes. The U-Series receiver doesn't care which transmitter is sending the signal — beltpack or MTU8. Set both to the same channel and swap between them. You can't use both at the same time on one receiver channel, but you can alternate.
Why would I buy this instead of the full MTU8 system?
The full system includes the receiver. If your receiver is still working, you don't need another one. This kit saves you the cost of the receiver you'd be duplicating.
Is this good for adding a rotation headset?
That's one of the main reasons studios buy it. Running two MTU8/Cyclemic sets in rotation — one drying while the other is in use — can more than double the life of both headsets. Especially in high-sweat rooms.
Do I need the Yoga Wrap with this?
If you teach in heated studios, yes. The MTU8 sits on your head — the hottest sweat zone. The Yoga Wrap adds a neoprene barrier between your skin and the transmitter electronics. For non-heated classes, it's optional.
