What is the ruling on the imam carrying the microphone during the tasleem so that the worshippers can hear, even though it requires several movements? Is it permissible for him to first say the tasleem secretly to himself so that he exits the prayer with one tasleem, and then say the two tasleems aloud? And is it permissible for the imam to say the first tasleem without the microphone, and the second with it?

It is permissible for the Imam to carry a sound amplification device during prayer, as it is among the light actions that do not affect the validity of the prayer. The prayer of both the Imam and the congregants is valid by limiting themselves to one tasleem (salutation), even though two tasleemat are preferred. It is not prescribed for the Imam to perform the tasleem three times.
