From Electronic Soundmaker and Computer Music, April 1984:

'We are spoiled,' observed Alan. 'In the early days it was Yamaha CS5's, Moog Rogues and Kawai unmentionables' (ie he didn't mention the model). 'We moved through Roland Jupiter 8's, PPG Wave 2's, Yamaha DX7's, Emulators, and now we have a machine that inspires awe both in us and in those who appreciate the sounds we are producing: the Synclavier'.

The Jupiter was sold at auction for £10,000 in 2018 (https://www.bonhams.com/auction/24669/lot/50/depeche-mode-alan-wilder-a-stage-and-studio-used-roland-jupiter-8-synthesier-1982-1984/).

"I have plenty of other gear but it’s largely redundant. My needs are quite simple these days: Logic Audio, Ableton Live, plenty of plug-ins. I now work on a MacBook Pro so I’m much more portable these days, finally making music on the move (at least sometimes)."

Alan Wilder's comment from a studio sale regarding his long-time choice of Dynaudio M2 monitors:

“I’m a big Dynaudio fan having used nothing else for years. Reliable, accurate and the right side of immensely enjoyable to listen to without being over flattering. The large M2 monitors would suit any studio with a bit of space. When combined with the BX30 subs and Manley amps, they sound simply ‘awesome’ (and that is not a word I use very often), as well as very powerful. My needs are more towards smaller near-fields and these M2s are something of a luxury I guess. They were used a lot during the 5.1 mixing of ‘subHuman’ where I could really test the full frequency range and power of that album. They also look absolutely brilliant, especially when hung via the chains which Kevin Van Greene very cleverly constructed.”
