# LTXAVTextEncoderLoader - ComfyUI Built-in Node Documentation

> This node loads a specialized text encoder for the LTXV audio model.

This node loads a specialized text encoder for the LTXV audio model. It combines a text encoder file with a checkpoint file to create a CLIP model used for text conditioning in audio generation. Per the node's description, the text encoder should be a Gemma 3 12B or a matching Gemma 4 model.

## Inputs

| Parameter      | Description                                                                                                                                                                                                                    | Data Type | Required | Range                      |
| -------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | --------- | -------- | -------------------------- |
| `text_encoder` | The filename of the LTXV text encoder model to load. The available options are loaded from the `text_encoders` folder.                                                                                                         | COMBO     | Yes      | Multiple options available |
| `ckpt_name`    | The filename of the checkpoint to load. The available options are loaded from the `checkpoints` folder.                                                                                                                        | COMBO     | Yes      | Multiple options available |
| `device`       | Specifies the device to load the model onto. Use `"cpu"` to force loading onto the CPU. The default behavior (`"default"`) uses the system's automatic device placement (default: `"default"`). This is an advanced parameter. | COMBO     | No       | `"default"`<br />`"cpu"`   |

**Note:** The `text_encoder` and `ckpt_name` parameters work together. The node loads both specified files to create a single, functional CLIP model. The files must be compatible with the LTXV architecture, and the text encoder should be a Gemma 3 12B or matching Gemma 4 model.

## Outputs

| Output Name | Description                                                                                  | Data Type |
| ----------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------- |
| `clip`      | The loaded LTXV CLIP model, ready to be used for encoding text prompts for audio generation. | CLIP      |
