93 equal divisions of the perfect fifth (abbreviated 93edf or 93ed3/2) is a nonoctave tuning system that divides the interval of 3/2 into 93 equal parts of about 7.55 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of (3/2)1/93, or the 93rd root of 3/2.

Theory

93edf is closely related to 159edo, but with the perfect fifth instead of the octave tuned just. Like 159edo, 92edf is consistent to the 18-integer-limit.

Subsets and supersets

Since 93 factors into primes as 3 × 31, 93edf contains 3edf and 31edf as subset edfs.
