15601 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 15601edo or 15601ed2), also called 15601-tone equal temperament (15601tet) or 15601 equal temperament (15601et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 15601 equal parts of about 0.0769 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 21/15601, or the 15601st root of 2. It is the denominator of the next convergent for log23 past 665, before 31867, and has a fifth which is 0.000002 cents stretched.

This system is at its best behavior in the 2.3.19.23 subgroup.
