Mic with a boost at around 500hz?

Title says it all really, just wondering if anyone knows of any mics with a frequency response curve that has a bit of a boost around 500hz (400-600) most condensers have boost at high end and seen bass mics with boost at low end (150hz and lower) is there any with 500hz boost? doesn't matter about type (cardioid,ribbon,dynamic etc) and preferably the rest of the curve to be flat or slope off at ends, just no other boosts other than 500
 
I have to ask why? Also why not just get a mic and give the eq a little boost in that area?
Ribbon mics do tend to be a more mid range sound, but this is mainly because they are not as bright as condenser mics.

A lot of cardioid dynamic mics have a proximity effect that extends up to about 500Hz. It'll probably give you more below that but you can EQ that out if it doesn't have a HPF switch that gives you what you want. Just test it at different distances and then stick a pop filter in front to set your sweet spot. Or maybe tape a kabob stick or somthing to it for distance if you're micing something else.

But I have the same question as [MENTION=50954]witzendoz[/MENTION], too.
