Sounds like your Phantom power supply may be defective. To be safe, 1st try moving AC plug for Phantom supply to another outlet as sometimes "sharing grounds" can be a problem. If this doesn't help, try using another phantom power source ...many PA mixers have built-in phantom power. If the buzz disappears with a new one, it will be a filtering issue (capacitors) with the old phantom supply.
Two words..."phantom power." Condenser mic's like yours require 48 volts of phantom power to operate correctly. Look for a "phantom power" OFF/ON switch located somewhere on your audio mixer or if you're not using a mixer, buy a in-line phantom power supply like this...http://www.amazon.com/b?ie=UTF8&node=11974571.
Chances are there is nothing wrong with the mixer. IF you accidentally turned on Phantom power, that would cause the problem. Phantom is ONLY used with condenser mics and a few DI boxes. Turning it on can create noise unless balanced lines are used everywhere.
HAve you tried a different lead?
Try a friends mic that you know works on your mixer.
Its usually a process of elimination.
You substitute a known working one and see what happens.
Is the little LED lighting up when its turned on?
For a mic like sennheiser ME66\K6 prof.mic.you have two options.
What might cause the blinking of the light,might be the battery,cause it functions in two ways,either by battery or by phantom power that needs to be activated by +48v power phantom on your mixer before it can work properly .
So you will do is either you get a replacement of the battery on get a mixer that has +48v power phantom power.
If the mic is a condensor you would need to have phantom power, or it will not work. Use a small mixer or externat power supply. We here at Pro Line Music Have small mixers that have phantom power. 215-736-8055
Where are the trim controls set?
Those mics use both phantom and battery power; are the mic switches set to phantom?
Try using the CD/Tape outputs to the FCA202
The MXL 990s requires 48 volts to operate. If your mixer does not have a phantom power option, you will need to purchase a microphone pre-amplifier with phantom power to interface the microphone to your mixer.
