A method of synchronous recording of audio is described. The described method comprises: (a) establishing a first wireless data transmission connection between a master device and a first recording device, (b) establishing a second wireless data transmission connection between the master device and a second recording device, (c) determining a first data transmission delay for the first data transmission connection, (d) determining a second data transmission delay for the second data transmission connection, (e) transmitting predetermined reference data from the master device to the first recording device and to the second audio recording device, (f) at the first recording device: playing back the predetermined reference data and recording first recording data, and (g) at the second recording device: playing back the predetermined reference data and recording second recording data, (h) wherein during the transmission of the predetermined reference data a difference between the first data transmission delay and the second data transmission delay is taken into account in such a manner that the playing back of the predetermined reference data takes place synchronously at the first recording device and at the second recording device. Furthermore, a system for synchronously recording audio is described.
