The '''1578 equal division''' divides the octave into 1578 equal parts of 0.7605 cents each. It is a very strong higher limit system, and is a [[The_Riemann_Zeta_Function_and_Tuning#Zeta EDO lists|zeta peak, peak integer, integral and gap edo]]. It is distinctly consistent through the 29 limit, and is the first edo past 311 with a lower 29-limit  [[Tenney-Euclidean_temperament_measures#TE simple badness|relative error]]. It is also the lowest past 311 in the 31 limit, the lowest past 581 in the 23 limit, and the lowest past 1178 in the 19 limit. It is also quite strong taken just as an 11-limit system; the only smaller edo with a lower 11-limit relative error is [[342edo|342]].

1578 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 1578edo or 1578ed2), also called 1578-tone equal temperament (1578tet) or 1578 equal temperament (1578et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 1578 equal parts of about 0.76 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 21/1578, or the 1578th root of 2.

1578edo is a very strong higher limit system, and is a zeta peak, peak integer, integral and gap edo. It is distinctly consistent through the 29-odd-limit, and is the first edo past 311edo with a lower 29-limit relative error. It is also the lowest past 311edo in the 31-limit, the lowest past 581edo in the 23-limit, and the lowest past 1178edo in the 19-limit. It is also quite strong taken just as an 11-limit system; the only smaller edo with a lower 11-limit relative error is 342edo. It additionally contains an extremely accurate approximation of quarter-comma meantone inherited from 789edo.

Some 31-limit or lower superparticular commas it tempers out are 3249/3248, 3510/3509, 3876/3875, 3969/3968, 4186/4185, 4225/4224, 4641/4640, 4693/4692, 4761/4760, 4901/4900, 4914/4913, 4992/4991, 5083/5082, 5643/5642, 5776/5775, 5832/5831, 5888/5887, 5985/5984, 6175/6174, 6325/6324, 6480/6479, 6656/6655, 6728/6727, 7106/7105, 7425/7424, 7657/7656, 7866/7865, 7889/7888, 8092/8091, 8281/8280, 8464/8463, 8526/8525, 8625/8624, 8671/8670, 8960/8959, 9425/9424, 9801/9800, 9802/9801, 10241/10240, 10557/10556, 10626/10625, 10830/10829, 10881/10880, 11271/11270, 11340/11339, 11781/11780, 12006/12005, 12122/12121, 12168/12167, 12376/12375, 12636/12635, 12673/12672, 13225/13224, 13300/13299, 13311/13310, 13312/13311, 13377/13376, 14365/14364, 14400/14399, 15625/15624, 16929/16928, 19228/19227, 19251/19250, 19344/19343, 19551/19550, 19965/19964, 20736/20735, 21505/21504, 21736/21735, 23276/23275, 23375/23374, 23409/23408, 23716/23715, 23751/23750, 24795/24794, 25025/25024, 25840/25839, 25921/25920, 27000/26999… .
