The whole mic thing could be a reference to professional wrestling where wrestlers trashtalk with their microphone before the match (also the name of a wrestling finishing move). Despite calling herself the brain of the fleet Kirishima is historically the one with the most fierce ship-to-ship combat experience among the Kongo class. (Head to head combat with USS South Dakota)

The 'mic check time' line occurs at 2300 coincided with the time of the second battle of guadacanal, we can assume she refers 'mic check' as 'brawling time.'
