The AudioEncoderLoader node loads an audio encoder model from a file in your audio encoders folder. It takes the filename of an audio encoder model as input and returns the loaded model, which can then be used for audio processing tasks in your workflow.

## Inputs

| Parameter            | Data Type | Required | Range                                                               | Description                                    |
| -------------------- | --------- | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------- |
| `audio_encoder_name` | STRING    | Yes      | List of available audio encoder files in the audio\_encoders folder | Selects which audio encoder model file to load |

## Outputs

| Output Name     | Data Type      | Description                                                                 |
| --------------- | -------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
