Only thing I can think of is the clips are used for grounding. Perhaps the connector is only two wire or it's for a ground lift if desired but I can't think of a situation where it would be needed.

The clip is on the cable, not the microphone.  Is this another way of grounding a cable to make it balanced?

Purest nickel plating over oxygen free copper and connected by twisted pair Mogami wire. And the spring in the clip is wound to resist sub-harmonic transference.

That was the first thing I thought had too, what about sub-harmonic transference.

As an aside, I still have a pair of U89's with the Neumann shockmounts I would consider selling....

If that's one of Jenna Jameson's stockings stretched over the Jecklin disk in the first picture, then this truly is microphone porn. ;D
