LOCUSCAST for ANDROID

After downloading locustream app navigate to your downloads folder and click the locuscast.apk to install.

Be sure that 'Unknown sources' is enabled in security settings.

Once the app is installed you simply need to enter your locus soundmap identity and password (see below : First: Open a Locustream Account), enable location functions (GPS) and you can start streaming.

You will obtain better results by using an external microphone. We have tested the iRig microphone pre-amp (http://www.ikmultimedia.com/products/irigpre/) which provides phantom power via a 9v battery and enables the connection of any type of mike with an XLR connector.
