When calculated in equal temperament with a reference of A above middle C as 440 Hz, the frequency of the E ♭ above middle C (or E ♭ 4) is approximately 311.127 Hz. E ♭ is a perfect fourth above B ♭, whereas D ♯ is a major third above B. However, in some temperaments, D ♯ is not the same as E ♭. In equal temperament it is also enharmonic with F (F-double flat). It lies a diatonic semitone above D and a chromatic semitone below E, thus being enharmonic to D ♯ ( D-sharp) or re dièse.
