392 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 392edo or 392ed2), also called 392-tone equal temperament (392tet) or 392 equal temperament (392et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 392 equal parts of about 3.06 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 21/392, or the 392nd root of 2.
Theory
392et is consistent to the 7-odd-limit with a flat tendency in the prime harmonics. The equal temperament tempers out the parakleisma in the 5-limit; 321489/320000 (varunisma), 420175/419904 (wizma), 703125/702464 (meter), and 823543/819200 (quince comma) in the 7-limit; and 441/440, 8019/8000, 9801/9800, and 41503/41472 in the 11-limit. It supports qak and octowerck.
