Why does a Neumann coincident large diaphram mike exist?

Quite good for small ensembles in non-highly-ambient rooms. FWIE AKG have
the same , C34 (?) essentially two C414s in the same format.

But yes, not the most ideal diaphram size or pattern, But considering people
do seem to persist in using LDs as drum overheads (often U87, KSM32, C414,
etc) the concept is not totally flawed.
