=<span style="color: #300094; font-size: 111%;">46 tone equal temperament</span>= 

The 46 equal temperament, often abbreviated 46-tET, 46-EDO, or 46-ET, is the scale derived by dividing the [[octave]] into 46 equally-sized steps. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 26.087 [[cent]]s, an interval close in size to [[66_65|66/65]], the interval from [[13_11|13/11]] to [[6_5|6/5]].

46et tempers out 507/500, 91/90, 686/675, 2048/2025, 121/120, 245/243, 126/125, 169/168, 176/175, 896/891, 196/195, 1029/1024, 5120/5103, 385/384, and 441/440 among other intervals, with varied consequences it would take a very long article to describe. [[Rank two temperaments]] it supports include sensi, valentine, shrutar, rodan, leapday and unidec. The [[11-limit]] [[Target tunings|minimax]] tuning for [[Starling family|valentine temperament]], (11/7)^(1/10), is only 0.01 cents flat of 3/46 octaves. In the opinion of some 46et is the first equal division to deal adequately with the [[13-limit]], though others award that distinction to [[41edo]].

The fifth of 46 equal is 2.39 cents sharp, which some people (eg, Margo Schulter) prefer, sometimes strongly, over both the [[just fifth]] and fifths of temperaments with flat fifths, such as meantone. It gives a characteristic bright sound to triads, distinct from the mellowness of a meantone triad.

46edo can be treated as two [[23edo]]'s separated by an interval of 26.09 cents.

==Approximation to Mode 8 of the Harmonic Series== 

46edo represents overtones 8 through 16 (written as JI ratios 8:9:10:11:12:13:14:15:16) with degrees 0, 8, 15, 21, 27, 32, 37, 42, 46. In steps-in-between, that's 8, 7, 6, 6, 5, 5, 5, 4.

8\46edo (208.70¢) stands in for frequency ratio 9:8 (203.91¢).
7\46edo (182.61¢) stands in for 10:9 (182.40¢).
6\46edo (156.52¢) stands in for 11:10 (165.00¢) and 12:11 (150.64¢).
5\46edo (130.43¢) stands in for 13:12 (138.57¢), 14:13 (128.30¢) and 15:14 (119.44¢).
