mike
Voice pickup device
A mike is a microphone, the device that converts sound into electrical signals for recording or amplification: Is this mike on?
Hand me that mike.
As a verb, to mike someone is to attach a microphone to them: The sound crew miked all the actors before the scene.
The spelling mic has become more common, especially in technical contexts. (Capitalized Mike is a given name.)
