1224 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 1224edo or 1224ed2), also called 1224-tone equal temperament (1224tet) or 1224 equal temperament (1224et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 1224 equal parts of about 0.98 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 21/1224, or the 1224th root of 2.

1224edo is enfactored in the 11-limit, with the same tuning as 612edo, but it corrects the harmonics 13 and 17 to work better with the flat tendency of the lower harmonics. It tempers out 4225/4224, 10648/10647 in the 13-limit; 2431/2430, 4914/4913 in the 17-limit; 1729/1728, 2926/2925 among others in the 19-limit. It provides the optimal patent val for the 19-limit semihemiennealimmal temperament with fine tunes of 23, 29 and 31.
