The slope looks to me like there's a 6 dB/octave high pass filter with -3 dB at somewhere around 6-7 kHz.
This is a first-order filter, i.e. probably a normal RC high pass filter.
My guess is you have a significant impedance mismatch of some sort in the signal chain, and capacitor-coupled outputs.
Consider:
f = 1 / (2 pi R C)
Where R is roughly equal to the input impedance, and C is the output capacitor.
Assume perhaps a cutoff frequency intended at 20 Hz, and we'll have a mismatch of about 300x.
Pro XLR is 600 ohm, and consumer RCA usually 10k-20k ohm so this is 10x higher than you'd expect. Odd indeed.
