Which one is correct:

1) She introduced him through a microphone.


2) She introduced him over a microphone.

What is the correct preposition used before the word 'microphone'?

Enlighten me on this. Thank you.

You speak/announce/introduce etc over a microphone, or over a public address system, or over a tannoy.
 
Thanks for your explanation.
 
Would "on" be acceptable too?

She introduced him on a microphone.
 
It's not completely impossible but it doesn't sound natural after "introduced".

He's on the mike now, I'll ask him to introduce you.
She was on the mike for hours. I nearly fell asleep!

On/off can be used as part of a couple of phrasal verbs too:
Get on the mike, it's your turn to speak.
Get off the mike, it's someone else's turn.
