When I was at Moscow Conservatory's Tchaikovsky Hall, the resident engineer told me that when DG recorded there they used some laser-pointer type device to ensure all spot mics (and that lots of them) were at specific ratios to the main pair. Regardless, neither of us are very fond of their recordings, though it's not necessarily due to this technique. I was also told that they used a lot of MKH mics and all Yamaha preamps and console--they have some endorsement deal, though apparently their stuff is customized.
