It means that the score was with the microphone in the "legal" position as outlined by whatever sanctioning body they follow. i.e. on the dash approximately 12" in from the passenger A-pillar and 3" up the windshield.

A car will generally get a higher score with the mic in the kickpanel corner or a number of other places. OFten a score garnered here will be labelled an 'Outlaw' score.
