Trying to create 5.1 test file - problems with LF channel

Question

I'm trying to create a 5.1 test file. To do this I'm creating test audio that cycles through each 5.1 channel in turn - all of which is fine until I get to the LF channel. If I place a lf clip in the project, turn the LF bass clef all the way up and the centre down, it doesn't matter where I pan that clip, it still bleeds over into other channels. Because I'm trying to generate a test clip that cycles through each individual channel, I need to be able to have a piece of audio on the LF channel only without it coming out of any other channels...
help!!
many thanks

I discovered an easier method.
As we know, the Audio Mixer in Premiere has a flaw.  You can't assign a track only to the LFE channel.
Here is the solution:
Import your Low frequency file into the project tab.
Select the file and click on Clip>Audio Options>Source Channel Mappings..., now under "Track Format" select 5.1, and repeatedly click the Channel tile until the Bass Clef appears.
It should look like this:
You just converted your mono LFE file into a virtual 5.1 surround file, with the LFE audio only on the LFE channel.  This is the only way to achieve this solely in Premiere.
Now drag the LFE file from the project panel to the sequence.  Notice that Premiere shows the track as a 5.1 surround track even though it's really mono.
Your file will now only play in the LFE channel.
