Phantom power on RS485 network



I am going to build a stage signalling system for our local amateur
dramatics group and will be using an RS485 network. For the network, I
will use standard 3 pin XLR microphone cables as we have lots of them.
I would prefer that the remote boxes had no mains connection and will
probably end up using wall-wart power supplies.

It occurred to me that I might be able to feed phantom power down the
RS485 signal lines to the remote boxes, but I don't know how. I
'Googled' on various combinations of 'RS485' and 'phantom power' but
came up with nothing useful.

Has anyone out there done such a thing and would be willing to share
their experience.

Thanks for reading.
