Definition of "crossed-slit":
Crossed-slit is an informal description of a condenser microphone backplate manufacturing technique developed by Neumann in 1964. The term is translated from the German Kreuzschlitz-Kapsel.
Rather than rely on a precise arrangement of holes drilled into a brass plate to create the desired polar and frequency response, Neumann engineers discovered that by carving a series of intersecting slits or grooves, they could achieve even greater pattern control and more-linear frequency response.
The “crossed-slit” backplate construction technique was used on the Neumann KM84, KM83, and KM85, the current “Series 180” microphone capsules (KM 183, KM 184, KM 185), and the KM 100.
