3L 9s is a 2/1-equivalent (octave-equivalent) moment of symmetry scale containing 3 large steps and 9 small steps, with a period of 1 large step and 3 small steps that repeats every 400.0 ¢, or 3 times every octave. 3L 9s is a child scale of 3L 6s, expanding it by 3 tones. Generators that produce this scale range from 300 ¢ to 400 ¢, or from 0 ¢ to 100 ¢.

This MOS represents, among other chromatic scales, that of the Augene temperament.
