Just wondering if you know of any models without a presense peak?

Several have mentioned the re 16 & variants.

As to condensers look at the Akg c535, very smooth on top. Here's the
data sheet for it:

And the Shure SM87 (NOT the Beta 87) is very good as well. (when I ran
a venue, it was the 1st mic I would try on female vox during
soundcheck)

The current spec sheet for the SM 87 is useless, because the marketing
wonks at Shure replaced the old frequency curve with on that mirrors
the Beta87 curve. (Even though they never changed the capsule on the SM
87) Take my word for it, this mic is pretty smooth on the top end, a
little less bright than the c535

I'm certain one of these 3 mics will be a good match for the voice in
question. Oh, don't be afraid to experiment with a windscreen, either.
It can help with plosives, and will take off some high end, which may
or may not be a good (bad) thing.
