There is a Headroom setting where you can select +20 or +24dbu.

From the manual:

Headroom (Apollo X rack models)

Headroom sets the maximum analog signal level for the line inputs, line outputs, and monitor outputs of connected Apollo X rack models. The available values are +20 dBu (the default value) or +24 dBu.

+24 dBu operation is typically used when interfacing with professional audio equipment such as large format consoles, analog tape machines, and similar devices that require higher analog I/O signal levels.
