mic'd
Wearing a microphone
Mic'd (also miked) means fitted with a microphone for recording or amplification: The actors were all mic'd up before the scene.
Sports broadcasts often feature mic'd players to capture on-field chatter.
The spelling reflects the clipped form mic rather than the older mike.
