Lemaitre's Gear
This Instagram from Apr 2014 shows Lemaitre opening up their RME Fireface UFX for repair. The photo is captioned, "Ok so apparently screws just fall out when touring. Even inside stuff. #thejinglysound" The knobs and inputs on the front of the interface identify it as the Fireface UFX. Judging by the way the caption is worded, they either use the Fireface UFX for the live show, or they simply take it with them for producing on the road.
In this Tweet by Lemaitre, they can be seen using Native Instruments Komplete (they make a specific reference to version 10):

"We try to play what we can live. We have guitar, vocals, a DSI Prophet synth and a Moog Little Phatty on stage. A lot of the sounds in the songs is really hard to recreate on a live instrument so we run a lot of things through Ableton Live as well."
Original interview from May 2013 can be found here.
On Twitter, a fan asks Lemaitre, "What mic do you guys use for live vocals??"
They reply, "@TELEFUNKEN_Mics M80!" referring to the Telefunken M80 Dynamic Microphone (asked and answered in Sept 2014).
In this Instagram of Lemaitre's "summer studio setup," the microphone to the left of the shot is the MXL Tempo USB Condenser Mic (presumably used to record vocals). It can be identified by the red metal finish. Photo is from July 2013.
In this fan-shot video of Lemaitre playing their track "Continuum" live (Stereosonic 2013 Melbourne), they can be seen playing a Fender American Standard Stratocaster HSS Electric Guitar in a Sienna Sunburst finish with a rosewood fingerboard. The guitar can be seen throughout.
Lemaitre posted a photo to Instagram of their new Moog Sub 37 analog synth. The photo is captioned, "Just got the new @Moog Sub 37 and it's really really good #Moog" (posted Oct 2014).
In this photo of Lemaitre's "summer studio setup", their studio monitor speakers can be seen. They can be identified as Eve Audio SC208 2-Way 8" Monitors. The Ableton Push controller that's in front of them is about 14 inches wide, and the SC208s are about 10 inches wide, so it follows that they are most likely the 208 model, as opposed to the smaller SC207 which are 8 inches across.
"Our rack. You don't need outboard gear, but it's fun playing with knobs," said Lemaitre on their instagram. In this picture, the Moog Slim Phatty is seen at the center of the rack.
Lemaitre shared this photo on Instagram with the caption, "Our rack. You don't need outboard gear, but it's fun playing with knobs." At the top of the rack, a Tree Audio The Branch can be seen.
In the Instagram photo "summer studio setup," Lemaitre's Sennheiser HD 800 Headphones can be seen on the table. Lemaitre confirm this when an Instagram user asks them "Looks gorgeous! What headphones you using?" and they answer "@raynberndale Sennheiser HD800!"
In an Instagram photo of their gear setup, right in front of Lemaitre's MacBook (running Ableton Live), you can see their Ableton Push Controller.
In an Instagram photo of their gear setup, you can see a 15" Apple MacBook Pro. It's more than likely a pre-retina model, since you can see "MacBook Pro" written on the screen's black bezel.
Ableton Live can be seen running on Lemaitre's MacBook Pro in this Instagram photo.
In this video, one of the musicians jamming with Lemaitre is playing a Prophet '08. The full keyboard removes any notion that it's one of the modular models, and the layout of the keys and wood panels on the side are consistent with the '08 Prophet.
Lemaitre shared this photo on Instagram, with the caption, "Our rack. You don't need outboard gear, but it's fun playing with knobs." At the bottom of the rack, two Distressor EL8-Xs can be seen.
In this Instagram photo, Lemaitre's M-Audio Axiom AIR can be seen.
In this Instagram photo, Ulrik Denizou Lund of Lemaitre can be seen playing his Gretsch G5422TDCG Electromatic Hollow Body electric guitar, Rosewood Fingerboard, Snow Crest White. The caption reads, "Hey instagram! This is Ulrik playing his guitar"
This mouse was used in their 2013 summer studio set-up.
In this photo of Lemaitre's Ketil surrounded by his guitars, his Gretsch G6120 Chet Atkins Hollowbody Electric Guitar in an Orange Stain finish can be seen. The photo is captioned, ""I swear I don't have a problem" -Ketil"
