70:84:105:120, the subharmonic sixth chord[1], is a tetrad in 7-limit harmony. It is the inverse of 4:5:6:7, the harmonic seventh chord. It can be considered the minor version of 4:5:6:7, and serves as the fundamental utonal consonance of the 7-odd-limit. On C, it can be notated as Cm(S6), where m is minor and S is supermajor.

The 4:5:6:7 chord may be modified to obtain this chord by flattening the 5/4 by 25/24 and the 7/4 by 49/48. The intervals 25/24 and 49/48 thus serve as chromas, and they are equated when 50/49 is tempered out, such as in pajara.
