Hi - I am experimenting with building a couple of leanfusers.
- The 'standard' model uses 10mm thick stock (full depth; 50mm from 'base plate')
- I am aware it is mentioned that 12mm (for metric) measures slightly better - and I do have to source metric. (depth; 60mm)
Seeing that I am not fixated on 'ultimate' performance and want to minimize intrusiveness, I am planning on using 9mm. (depth 45mm)
Common sense tells me that the difference will be minimal.
Is anyone aware of some exponential equation coming into play where losing 10% of depth will lose 50% of performance?? (for example)
An educated/experienced based guess would be most helpful.

This all works on wavelengths, so if you scale both panel width and and depth by 75% it should work very similarly but with a lower frequency effectiveness that starts 33% higher (in frequency). Essentially, scale the whole thing by X, the frequency range scales by 1/X. Bigger things affect longer wavelengths.
If you want to do something that is more than simple scaling, an option is to download the 1month demo version of AFMG Reflex (Software - AFMG Reflex
and simulate the dimensions and pattern you want to try. That's how the leanfuser was designed. It can take quite a while to optimize to something effective by trial-and-error, but it can be done (and is sort of fun, if you happen to be an obsessive type!).
