The AudioEncoderLoader node loads audio encoder models from your available audio encoder files. It takes an audio encoder filename as input and returns a loaded audio encoder model that can be used for audio processing tasks in your workflow.

## Inputs

| Parameter            | Data Type | Input Type | Default | Range                         | Description                                                                     |
| -------------------- | --------- | ---------- | ------- | ----------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `audio_encoder_name` | STRING    | COMBO      | -       | Available audio encoder files | Selects which audio encoder model file to load from your audio\_encoders folder |

## Outputs

| Output Name     | Data Type      | Description                                                                  |
| --------------- | -------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `audio_encoder` | AUDIO\_ENCODER | Returns the loaded audio encoder model for use in audio processing workflows |
