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 5-limit minor and S is supermajor.

The subharmonic sixth chord may be modified to obtain the harmonic seventh chord by raising the 5/4 by 25/24 and the 7/4 by 49/48. The intervals 25/24 and 49/48 thus serve as chromas. It can also be modified by inflecting both 6/5 and 12/7 down by 36/35 to get the harmonic sixth chord 1–7/6–3/2–5/3.
