992 equal divisions of the octave (abbreviated 992edo or 992ed2), also called 992-tone equal temperament (992tet) or 992 equal temperament (992et) when viewed under a regular temperament perspective, is the tuning system that divides the octave into 992 equal parts of about 1.21 ¢ each. Each step represents a frequency ratio of 21/992, or the 992nd root of 2.

992edo is a decent 7-limit system, although it is inconsistent in the 9-odd-limit. In the 13-limit the 992def val 992 1572 2303 2784 3431 3670], the 992ef val 992 1572 2303 2785 3431 3670] as well as the patent val 992 1572 2303 2785 3432 3671] are worth considering.

The equal temperament supports windrose in the 7-limit.
