In stereo high-fidelity equipment, crosstalk signifies the amount of left-channel signal that leaks into the right channel, and vice versa. In magnetic recording heads is caused by magnetic coupling and the transformer action between head coil windings. In reproducing heads the cause is due to leakage between windings and the fringing effect at low frequencies (induction).
