I'm checking this out:

The pure lowpass and highpass sections are standard Sallen Keys with
an unbuffered first-order passive section slapped onto the front. This
turns it into a rather nonstandard Sallen Key. Fortunately, I found it
in my colleague Marshall Leach's filter potpourri:

The 8 bandpass filters in the middle, though, are weird. To establish
notation, consider the filter that creates output "b," the 200 Hz
filter. If you left out C9, you could redraw it as a multiple feedback
filter. But putting the cap in there weirds it up, turning it into
something I haven't seen before.
Anyone recognize it? I'm hoping someone does so I can go look it up in
some obscure textbook before sitting down and deriving the transfer
function myself, which I can do, but would just rather not. ;)
