'''4/1''', the '''4th harmonic''', '''double octave''', '''fifteenth''', or '''tetrave''' is the [[harmonic]] past [[3/1]] and before [[5/1]]. It is equal to a stack of two [[octave]]s: ([[2/1]])<sup>2</sup>.


It is the equivalence interval of the [[meansquared]] temperament.
It is the [[interval of equivalence]] in certain temperaments that omit every other octave, such as [[meansquared]].
