Provided are a down-mixing method and an encoder, wherein a high quantization performance can be realized when a balance adjustment operation due to a balance weight coefficient and a removal operation of a main component are combined. In the encoder (100), a down-mixing unit (101) generates a mono signal by multiplying an L-signal and an R-signal by coefficients a and ss, respectively, and summing the L-signal and the R-signal to generate a mono signal. A first encoding target signal, corresponding to the L-signal is generated by multiplying the mono signal by a balance weight coefficient wL and subtracting the same from the L-signal, using a multiplier (107) and an adder (109). A second encoding target signal, corresponding to the R-signal is generated by multiplying the mono signal by a balance weight coefficient wR and subtracting the same from the R-signal, using a multiplier (108) and an adder (110).
