# AudioEncoderLoader - ComfyUI Built-in Node Documentation

> Documentation for AudioEncoderLoader node.

## Overview

The AudioEncoderLoader node loads an audio encoder model from a file stored 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. If the selected file does not contain a valid audio encoder model, the node raises an error.
