             "HiPerMite Audio Filter"

 HPM-AA0HW-QRQCW-pcb.jpg   

Above is the HiPerMite 2015 Kit assembled.
Stages in the HPM are Lo,Lo,Lo,Hi pass.
Stages here are VCVS topology ,  
and produce a pronounced 'Band Pass" Butterworth shape . 

HPM designer Cripe used the VCVS circuit design, which works well. 
F(center) is adjusted by adjusting hard-ware components.  No Single f() control.

Precision components required.    Difficult to adjust for component variations.  
Be sure to trim and pad resistors to 1% and use precision caps.
