2190 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 2190edo or 2190ed2), also called 2190-tone equal temperament (2190tet) or 2190 equal temperament (2190et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 2190 equal parts of about 0.548 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 21/2190, or the 2190th root of 2.

2190edo is a very strong 13-limit system; no smaller division has a smaller 13-limit relative error, and nothing beats it until 2684. A basis for the 13-limit commas is {9801/9800, 10648/10647, 105644/105625, 140625/140608, 196625/196608}; also tempered out are 123201/123200 and 151263/151250. It is not as impressive beyond the 13-limit, though it does well in the 2.3.5.7.11.13.19.29 subgroup, holding the record of relative error until 14618.
