 Exhibit 10.1 

TENDER AND SUPPORT AGREEMENT 

THIS TENDER AND SUPPORT AGREEMENT, dated as April 29, 2015 (this “Agreement”), is entered into by and between Knowles
Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), and [        ] (the “Stockholder”). 

W I T N E S S E T H: 

WHEREAS, Parent, Orange Subsidiary, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned Subsidiary of Parent, and Audience, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the “Company”), have executed an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of the date hereof (as the same may be amended or otherwise modified from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, the “Merger
Agreement”). Terms that are defined in the Merger Agreement that are not defined herein are used in this Agreement as they are defined in the Merger Agreement; 

WHEREAS, as a condition to Parent executing and delivering the Merger Agreement, Parent is requiring that the Stockholder enter into this
Agreement to, among other things, tender (i) the shares of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, of the Company (“Company Common Stock”), owned by the Stockholder, (ii) all securities exchangeable, exercisable or
convertible into Company Common Stock, and (iii) any securities issued or exchanged with respect to such Company Common Stock, upon any recapitalization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, spin-off, partial or complete liquidation, stock
dividend, split-up or combination of the securities of the Company or upon any other change in the Company’s capital structure, in each case whether now owned or hereafter acquired by the Stockholder (collectively, the
“Securities”); and 
 WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, the Stockholder has the power to vote and dispose of
[                    ] shares (the “Existing Shares”) of Company Common Stock. 

NOW, THEREFORE, in contemplation of the foregoing and in consideration of the mutual agreements, covenants, representations and warranties
contained herein and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows: 
 1. Certain Covenants. 

1.1 Lock-Up. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Stockholder hereby covenants and agrees that between the date hereof and the
Termination Date, the Stockholder will not (a) directly or indirectly (including, in each case, through transactions effected in derivative securities of the Securities), sell, transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate, tender, encumber or
otherwise dispose of or limit its right to vote the Securities, or agree to do any of the foregoing (each a “Transfer”); (b) knowingly take any action which is, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably likely to delay,
prevent or have an adverse effect on the Stockholder’s ability to satisfy its obligations under this Agreement or (c) take any action that would make any of its representations or warranties contained herein untrue or incorrect or have the
effect of preventing, disabling or impeding the Stockholder from performing its obligations under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with any Transfer not involving or relating to any Acquisition Proposal, the Stockholder
may Transfer any or all of the Securities to (i) if an entity, any wholly-owned Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Stockholder or (ii) if natural 







 
person, (A) immediate family members or a trust established for the benefit of Stockholder and/or for the benefit of one or more members of Stockholder’s immediate family,
(B) charitable organizations or (C) upon the death of the Stockholder; provided, however, that in any such case, prior to and as a condition to the effectiveness of such Transfer, each Person to which any of such Securities
or any interest in any of such Securities is Transferred shall have executed and delivered to Parent a counterpart to this Agreement pursuant to which such Person shall be bound by all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement. 

1.2 No Solicitation. 

(a) From and after the date of this Agreement until the Termination Date, except as provided in Section 1.2(b) or
Section 5.2, the Stockholder will not, and will cause its [Subsidiaries and its and their respective] Representatives not to, directly or indirectly: (i) solicit, initiate, or knowingly encourage or knowingly induce or knowingly
facilitate the making, submission or announcement of any inquiries or the making of any proposal or offer constituting, related to or that would reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal, (ii) furnish any non-public information
regarding any of the Acquired Companies to any Person (other than Parent and Parent’s or the Company’s Representatives acting in their capacity as such) in connection with or in response to an Acquisition Proposal or any proposal, inquiry
or offer that would reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal, (iii) engage in discussions or negotiations with any Person with respect to any Acquisition Proposal or any proposal, inquiry or offer that would reasonably be
expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal (other than to state that they currently are not permitted to have discussions), (iv) approve, endorse or recommend any Acquisition Proposal or any proposal, inquiry or offer that would reasonably be
expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal, (v) make or authorize any public statement, recommendation or solicitation in support of any Acquisition Proposal or any proposal, inquiry or offer that would reasonably be expected to lead to an
Acquisition Proposal or (vi) enter into any letter of intent or agreement in principle or any Contract providing for, relating to or in connection with any Acquisition Proposal or any proposal, inquiry or offer that would reasonably be expected
to lead to an Acquisition Proposal. The Stockholder agrees that any breach of this Section 1.2(a) by any [Subsidiary or any] of its [or their respective] Representatives shall constitute a breach of this Section 1.2(a) by the
Stockholder. 
 (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the Stockholder from taking any action in its
capacity as a Representative of the Company that is expressly permitted to be taken by the Company’s Representatives (in their capacity as such) under the Merger Agreement (including exercising its fiduciary duties to the Company in accordance
with applicable Law and the Merger Agreement). 
 (c) The Stockholder shall, and shall cause its [Subsidiaries and its and their
respective] Representatives to (i) immediately cease and cause to be terminated all existing discussions or negotiations with any Person conducted heretofore with respect to any Acquisition Proposal or any proposal, inquiry or offer that could
reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal, and (ii) request the prompt return or destruction of all confidential information previously furnished by it or on its behalf. 

  
 2 








 (d) The Stockholder shall [and shall cause its Subsidiaries to] advise Parent promptly (and in
any event within the later of twenty-four (24) hours or the next Business Day) of (i) any Acquisition Proposal or indication, inquiry, proposal or offer with respect to or that would reasonably be expected to lead to any Acquisition
Proposal, (ii) any request for non-public information relating to the Company that would reasonably be expected to lead to an Acquisition Proposal, and (iii) any inquiry or request for discussion or negotiation regarding an Acquisition
Proposal, including in each case the identity of the person making any such Acquisition Proposal or indication, inquiry, offer or proposal, the material terms of any such Acquisition Proposal or indication, inquiry, offer or proposal and any
material correspondence relating thereto. The Stockholder shall keep Parent informed on a reasonably current basis of any material changes to the terms of any such Acquisition Proposal or indication or inquiry. 

1.3 Certain Events. This Agreement and the obligations hereunder will attach to the Securities and will be binding upon any person to
which legal or Beneficial Ownership of any or all of the Securities passes, whether by operation of applicable Law or otherwise, including the Stockholder’s successors or assigns. This Agreement and the obligations hereunder will also attach to
any additional shares of Company Common Stock or other Securities of the Company issued to or acquired by the Stockholder after the date hereof. 

1.4 Agreement to Tender; Grant of Proxy; Voting Agreement. 

(a) The Stockholder hereby agrees to validly tender the Securities or cause the Securities to be validly tendered into the Offer promptly
following, and in any event no later than the tenth (10th) Business Day following the commencement of the Offer pursuant to Section 1.1 of the Merger Agreement in accordance with the procedures set forth in the Offer Documents;
provided that Parent agrees that the Stockholder may withdraw the Securities from the Offer at any time following the termination of this Agreement or upon the Offer being terminated in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement. For
the avoidance of doubt, (x) the Stockholder shall not be required, for purposes of this Agreement, to exercise any unexercised Company equity award held by the Stockholder and (y) the Stockholder shall not have any obligation under this
Section 1.4(a) to tender (or caused to be tendered) any Securities into the Offer (i) to the extent such shares constitute Company restricted stock awards or (ii) to the extent such tender would reasonably be expected to cause
the Stockholder to incur liability under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act. If the Offer is terminated or withdrawn by Parent or the Merger Agreement is terminated prior to the purchase of Securities in the Offer, Parent shall promptly return,
and shall cause any depository or paying agent, acting on behalf of Parent, to promptly return all tendered Securities to the Stockholder. 

(b) The Stockholder has revoked or terminated any proxies, voting agreements or similar arrangements previously given or entered into with
respect to the Securities. Solely with respect to the matters described in this Section 1.4(b) and Section 1.4(c), the Stockholder hereby irrevocably appoints Parent as proxy for the Stockholder to vote the Securities entitled to vote, for
the Stockholder and in the Stockholder’s name, place and stead, at any annual or special meeting, or at any adjournment thereof for the adoption of the Merger Agreement and approval of the Offer and the Merger (but only at such a meeting called
for the purpose of voting with respect to the adoption of the Merger Agreement and approval of the Offer and the Merger and only with respect to a proposal relating thereto). The parties 

  
 3 








 
acknowledge and agree that neither Parent, nor Parent’s successors, assigns, subsidiaries, divisions, employees, stockholders, Representatives and Affiliates shall owe any duty, whether in
law or otherwise, or incur any liability of any kind whatsoever, including without limitation, with respect to any and all claims, losses, demands, causes of action, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees) and compensation of any
kind or nature whatsoever, to the Stockholder in connection with or as a result of any voting by Parent of the Securities or any execution of any consent in accordance with the terms hereof. The parties acknowledge that, pursuant to the authority
hereby granted under the irrevocable proxy (which proxy is coupled with an interest in the Securities), Parent may vote the Securities in furtherance of its own interests and Parent is not acting as a fiduciary for the Stockholder. 

(c) The Stockholder hereby irrevocably and unconditionally covenants and agrees that, during the Voting Period (as hereinafter defined) and
if the Securities have not been previously accepted for payment pursuant to the Offer, at any meeting of the stockholders of the Company (whether annual or special), however called, or at any adjournment or postponement thereof, or in any other
circumstances (including an action by written consent) upon which a vote or other approval is sought, the Stockholder shall (including, in each case as applicable, as contemplated by Section 1.4(b)): (i) with respect to any vote relating
to the Merger Agreement, the Offer and the Merger or any other matter to be approved by the stockholders of the Company to facilitate any of them, appear at such meeting or otherwise be counted as present thereat for the purpose of establishing a
quorum and vote the Securities, in person or by proxy, in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement and the approval of the Offer and the Merger and (ii) vote (or cause to be voted), in person or by proxy, the Securities against
(A) any extraordinary corporate transaction (other than the Offer and the Merger), such as a merger, consolidation, business combination, tender or exchange offer, reorganization, recapitalization, liquidation, or sale or transfer of all or
substantially all of the assets or securities of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (B) any amendment of the Company’s certificate of incorporation or by-laws other than as contemplated by the Merger Agreement, (C) any other
proposal, action or transaction involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, which amendment or other proposal, action or transaction would reasonably be expected to impede, frustrate, prevent or nullify the Offer and the Merger or the Merger
Agreement, (D) any extraordinary dividend, distribution or recapitalization by the Company or change in capital structure of the Company (other than pursuant to the Merger Agreement) and (E) any Acquisition Proposal (the matters described
in the foregoing clauses (A) through (E) being referred to as “Competing Actions”); and (iii) not take any action by written consent to approve any Competing Action; provided, that nothing herein shall limit
the ability of the Stockholder to vote its Securities in its sole discretion on any matters other than the matters set forth in this Section 1.4(c) that may be submitted to a stockholder vote, consent or other approval. For purposes of this
Agreement, “Voting Period” means the period commencing on the date hereof and ending on the termination of this Agreement. 

(d) The obligations of the Stockholder specified in this Section 1.4 shall apply whether or not the Board of Directors of the
Company (or any committee thereof) has effected an Adverse Recommendation Change. Any such vote shall be cast (or consent shall be given) by the Stockholder in accordance with such procedures relating thereto so as to ensure that it is duly counted,
including for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present. 

  
 4 








 (e) The irrevocable proxy granted pursuant to Section 1.4(a) shall not be terminated
by any act of the Stockholder or by operation of law. If between the execution hereof and the Termination Date, any trust or estate holding the Securities should be terminated, or if any corporation or partnership holding the Securities should be
dissolved or liquidated, or if any other such similar event or events shall occur before the Termination Date, certificates or book-entry credits representing the Securities shall be delivered by or on behalf of the Stockholder in accordance with
the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and actions taken by Parent hereunder shall be as valid as if such death, incapacity, termination, dissolution, liquidation or other similar event or events had not occurred, regardless of whether or not
Parent has received notice of such death, incapacity, termination, dissolution, liquidation or other event. 
 1.5 Disclosure. The
Stockholder hereby authorizes Parent to publish and disclose in any announcement or disclosure required by the SEC, the NASDAQ Global Select Market or any other national securities exchange and, to the extent required by applicable Law, the Offer
Documents (including all documents and schedules filed with the SEC in connection therewith) and any other required filings under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or otherwise required by Law, its identity and ownership of the Securities and
the nature of its commitments, arrangements and understandings under this Agreement. Parent hereby authorizes the Stockholder to make such disclosure or filings as may be required by the SEC or NASDAQ Global Select Market or any other national
securities exchange or the OTC Bulletin Board. 
 2. Representations and Warranties of Stockholder. The Stockholder hereby represents
and warrants to Parent, as of the date hereof, that: 
 2.1 Ownership. Stockholder is the record and Beneficial Owner of the
Securities, and the Securities constitute the Stockholder’s entire interest in the outstanding capital stock of the Company. The Securities are, and (except as otherwise permitted by this Agreement) prior to the Effective Time will be,
Beneficially Owned and owned of record by the Stockholder, free and clear of any Liens, of any nature whatsoever, except for restrictions on transfer under securities Laws and except for those created by this Agreement. Except as set forth on
Schedule I to this Agreement, as of the date hereof, the Stockholder does not hold any options, warrants or other rights to purchase any Securities. As of the date hereof, the Existing Shares constitute all of the shares of Company Common Stock
Beneficially Owned or owned of record by the Stockholder [or any of its Subsidiaries]. The Stockholder has and (except as otherwise expressly provided by this Agreement) will have at all times through the Effective Time sole voting power (including
the right to control such vote as contemplated herein) with respect to the matters set forth in this Agreement, sole power of disposition, sole power to issue instructions with respect to the matters set forth in this Agreement, and sole power to
agree to all of the matters set forth in this Agreement, in each case, with respect to all of the Stockholder’s Existing Shares and with respect to all of the Securities owned by the Stockholder at all times through the Effective Time.
“Beneficial Ownership” by a person of any securities includes ownership by any Person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship or otherwise, has or shares (i) voting power
which includes the power to vote, or to direct the voting of, such security; and/or (ii) investment power which includes the power to dispose, or to direct the disposition, of such security; and shall otherwise be interpreted in accordance with
the term “beneficial ownership” as defined in Rule 13d-3 adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Exchange Act, as amended; 

  
 5 








 
provided that for purposes of determining Beneficial Ownership, a Person shall be deemed to be the Beneficial Owner of any securities which such Person has, at any time during the term of this
Agreement, the right to acquire pursuant to any agreement, arrangement or understanding or upon the exercise of conversion rights, exchange rights, warrants or options, or otherwise (irrespective of whether the right to acquire such securities is
exercisable immediately or only after the passage of time, including the passage of time in excess of 60 days, the satisfaction of any conditions, the occurrence of any event or any combination of the foregoing). The terms “Beneficially
Own” and “Beneficially Owned” shall have a correlative meaning.

[        ] duly existing under the laws of [        ]] [OR] [an individual residing in [        ]].

obligations hereunder and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Stockholder and the consummation of the Offer have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary action
of the Stockholder, and no other proceedings on the part of the Stockholder are necessary to authorize the execution and delivery of this Agreement or to consummate the Offer and the other transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement has been
duly executed and delivered by the Stockholder and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery by Parent, this Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Stockholder, enforceable against the Stockholder in
accordance with its terms (except to the extent that enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization or similar Laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally or by general
principles of equity). 
 2.4 No Violation. 

(a) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Stockholder do not and will not, with or without notice or lapse of
time, or both, (i) in the case of a Stockholder that is not a natural person, conflict with or violate the constituent or organizational documents of the Stockholder [or any of its Subsidiaries], (ii) conflict with or violate any Law
applicable to the Stockholder [or any of its Subsidiaries] or by which any property or asset of the Stockholder [or any of its Subsidiaries] is bound or (iii) result in any breach or violation of, or constitute a default (or an event which with
notice or lapse of time or both would become a default), or result in a right of payment or loss of a benefit under, or give rise to any right of termination, cancellation, amendment or acceleration of, any Contract to which the Stockholder [or any
of its Subsidiaries] is a party, except in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) hereof, any such conflict, violation, breach, default, right of payment, termination, amendment, acceleration, cancellation that are not, individually or in the
aggregate, reasonably expected to delay, prevent or have a material adverse effect on the Stockholder’s ability to satisfy its obligations under this Agreement. 

(b) The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Stockholder do not and, at the time of the Closing will not, require any
consent, approval, order, license, authorization or permit of, action by, filing, registration or declaration with or notification to, any Governmental Entity or any other person, except for applicable requirements

and except where failure to obtain such consents, approvals, authorizations, waivers or permits, or to make such filings or notifications that would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to delay, prevent or have a material
adverse effect on the Stockholder’s ability to satisfy its obligations under this Agreement. 
 2.5 No Proceedings. No Actions
are pending, or to the knowledge of Stockholder, threatened, against Stockholder [or any of its Subsidiaries], which, if adversely determined, will, individually or in the aggregate, be reasonably expected to delay, prevent or have a material
adverse effect on the Stockholder’s ability to satisfy its obligations under this Agreement and [neither] the Stockholder [nor any of its respective officers, directors, representatives or properties] is [or are] subject to any material
judgment, order, injunction, ruling or decree of any Governmental Entity that would individually or in the aggregate, be reasonably expected to delay, prevent or have a material adverse effect on the Stockholder’s ability to satisfy its
obligations under this Agreement. The Stockholder has not previously assigned or sold any of the Securities to any third party. The Stockholder acknowledges that neither the Parent nor any Person on behalf of the Parent has not made and does not
make any representation or warranty, whether express or implied, of any kind or character except as expressly set forth in this Agreement. 

2.6 Reliance by Parent. The Stockholder understands and acknowledges that Parent is entering into the Merger Agreement in reliance upon
the Stockholder’s execution and delivery of this Agreement and the representations and warranties of the Stockholder herein. 
 2.7

regarding the sale of the Securities and has independently and without reliance upon the Parent and based on such information as the Stockholder has deemed appropriate, made its own analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. 

3. Representations and Warranties of Parent. Parent hereby represents and warrants to the Stockholder, as of the date hereof that:

authorization, execution and delivery by the Stockholder, this Agreement constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Parent, enforceable against Parent in accordance with its terms (except to the extent that enforceability may be limited by
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization or similar Laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally or by general principles of equity).

 3.2 No Violation. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will as of the date hereof or as of the date of the Closing (a) require any consent, approval, order, license, authorization or permit of, action by, filing, registration or declaration with
or notification to, any Governmental Entity or any other person, except for applicable requirements of the Exchange Act, Blue Sky Laws, the HSR Act, any applicable non-U.S. competition, antitrust or investment Laws, filing and recordation of
appropriate merger documents as required by the DGCL and except where failure to obtain such consents, approvals, authorizations, waivers or permits, or to make such filings or notifications that are not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably

Parent, any Contract, or any applicable Law binding upon Parent, except for such violations, defaults or conflicts which are not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably likely to delay, prevent or have a material adverse effect on
Parent’s ability to satisfy its obligations under this Agreement. No Actions are pending, or to the knowledge of Parent, threatened, against Parent, which, if adversely determined, will, individually or in the aggregate, be reasonably expected
to delay, prevent or have a material adverse effect on the Parent’s ability to satisfy its obligations under this Agreement.

shall terminate and cease to have any force or effect upon the earliest of (i) the Closing, (ii) any termination of the Merger Agreement in accordance with its terms, (iii) such date and time as any amendment or change to the Merger

consideration payable to all of the stockholders of the Company pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, or that imposes conditions to the Offer in addition to the Offer Conditions or modifies the existing Offer Conditions in a manner adverse
to the stockholders of the Company and (iv) the mutual written consent of Parent and the Stockholder.

 8 








 
of directors of any Subsidiary of the Company or as an officer of the Company or any of Subsidiary of the Company, acting in such Person’s capacity as a director or officer of the Company or
any Subsidiary of the Company, and any such action shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement.

and other out-of-pocket expenses) incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.

agreements and understandings, both written and oral, between the parties, or any of them, with respect to the subject matter hereof. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any right,

 5.15 Relationship of Parties. Nothing contained herein shall establish any fiduciary,
partnership, joint venture or similar relationship between or among the parties hereto except to the extent otherwise expressly stated herein or therein. 

5.16 Severability. Whenever possible, each provision or portion of any provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner
as to be effective and valid under applicable Law, but if any provision or portion of any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable Law or rule in any jurisdiction, such
invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision or portion of any provision in such jurisdiction, and this Agreement shall be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or
unenforceable provision or portion of any provision had never been contained herein, so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party. Upon such a
determination, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as
originally contemplated to the fullest extent possible. 
 5.17 Enforcement. The parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in
the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Accordingly, each party shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof, including an
injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in the courts of the State of Delaware, as described in Section 5.13, this being in addition to any
other remedy to which such party is entitled at law or in equity. Each of the parties hereby further waives any requirement under any law to post security as a prerequisite to obtaining equitable relief.
