A 
microphone array method for sound 
source localization comprises steps of setting 
spatial distribution positions of seven microphones in a seven-element stereoscopic 
microphone array: s0 (0, 0, 0), s1 (d, 0, d), s2 (-d, 0, d), s3 (0, d, -d),s4 (0, -d, -d), s5 (0, 0, d), s6 (0, 0, -d), wherein, s0 is the 
microphone at the origin, s1-s6 are 6 microphones distributed at other positions rather than the origin, and d is the distance from s1- s6 to the coordinate axis; establishing a 
mathematical model for the 
microphone array according to the 
spatial distribution positions of the seven microphones; solving the 
mathematical model and determining the location of the sound source. The 
microphone array method for sound 
source localization can effectively improve the 
ranging performance on the basis of keeping the array size and the number of microphones unchanged and not sacrificing the positioning performances of the 
pitch angle and the 
direction angle. The array formation has a better good effect on the positioning of the 
pitch angle and the 
direction angle, so as to effectively improve the accuracy of distance positioning while keeping the advantages of high positioning accuracy at thepitch angle and the 
direction angle in the spatial cross stereoscopic array.
