2039 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 2039edo or 2039ed2), also called 2039-tone equal temperament (2039tet) or 2039 equal temperament (2039et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 2039 equal parts of about 0.589 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 21/2039, or the 2039th root of 2.
